Miss Nelson is Missing by James Marshall
If you are a teacher and you've never read this book you need to drop EVERYTHING and read it NOW!!!!
Miss Nelson is a sweet teacher who loves her kids and her job, but her class is completely unruly. She can't seem to get control of them and they are just rude and disrespectful. She decides to take matters into her own hands and appears as the meanest substitute in the whole wide world, Miss Viola Swamp! The greatest part is that she keeps her true identity hidden from the kids and manages to accomplish her task of turning the behavior of her class around at the same time.
Every year I have at least one day where I think, I really need an alter-ego who can turn the behavior of this class around! Maybe I'll have to give Miss Viola Swamp a try sometime.
