The difference in responses to this book between those who have taught in public schools and those who have not are telling. Those who have not taught always ask how much of this book is real and which parts are exaggerated. Those who have taught usually respond with, “Yup.”
The Alloway Files
By E.J. Roller
The Alloway Files is the darkly humorous tale of Ellen Alloway, a young City Schools teacher who is put on administrative leave for mysterious reasons, and the HR Clerk who is sent to her school to investigate. Along the way, the reader encounters other unforgettable inhabitants of School 405, including astute students, depressed faculty members, misguided consultants, a wise janitor, and frustrated administrators.
This book was recently re-released! So if you have the old version, you may still want to check this one out. The images at the end are a lot clearer!
