The World’s Worst Teachers: David Walliams

Product Information

A Chicago elementary school teacher took humiliating photos of a seven-year-old student’s hairstyle to post on Facebook. I like this book because it is very funny and I recommend reading it if you like David Walliams (author). Naive homeschooler turned public school Queen Bee Cady gets grounded at the worst possible time: the weekend of the mathlete state championships and the spring fling dance.

These ten tales of the world’s most splendidly sinister teachers will have you running for the school gates.It was such a joy to flip the coin and read about The World’s Worst Teachers instead of the World’s Worst Children, and in my opinion the Teachers are so much worse than the Children. Brought to you by number one bestselling author, David Walliams, with every story illustrated in glorious colour by artistic genius, Tony Ross.

Příběhy jsou otravně repetitivní (zvlášť pokud už máte pár autorových knížek za sebou), zhruba polovinu textu tvoří citoslovce jako VŽUUUM! Cher’s father’s incredulousness when he sees the revised report card speaks for itself: “What’d you do, turn in some extra credit reports? It’s great, funny as a hedgehog in your pants and my daughter laughed her head off – but I feel he’s gone as far as he can with the series and this, if it is the last of the series, is a very fitting bookend to that series of books! Each Powerpoint start with an inference image, followed by the learning objective, prediction/re-cap questions, inference questions using the illustrations of the teachers from the book, teacher then interactiveky reads the start of the short story and the children partner read the rest of the short story, the children then complete partner questions on whiteboards and finally, the independent questions at the end of the PowerPoint. These amazing stories were illustrated by the fabulous Tony Ross, adding an extra dimension to David Walliams’ fantastic stories.He hates her so much, in fact, that he becomes determined to sabotage her campaign for student body president, first by talking a more popular student into running against her, then by committing ballot fraud to ensure his victory. And non-teaching staff aren't safe from inclusion either: an evil librarian who fines students for breathing on a book (not true, kids, not true! Each chapter in the book retells the terrible frightening antics of one teacher, each more horrifying than the last, but also horrendously funny. So much so, in fact, that he breaks into the Bueller home in an attempt to prove that Ferris isn’t actually home sick.

The World’s Worst Teachers by David Walliams is a must have for all young readers and their families. I thought this book was good but as I also said with the worlds worst children 1 I do not like how the main character always meets a sticky end. Each corner of the page is littered with his brilliance, it’s a messy masterpiece – making this book, and the ones before it, a work of art as well as a thrilling and joyful read. Walliams appears to have created similar characters in certain stories, just giving them different subjects that they teach; like the Art Teacher, Miss Conceit, and the Drama Teacher, Miss Palaver , who both teach their classes based around themselves.

David Walliams has delighted us all with tales of children that are so horrendous, parents everywhere are thankful that their not there offspring. a podobně, a toho záchodového humoru je už zkrátka tak moc, že už to nepřipadá vtipný ani těm dětem. Also, coming from a teaching background, many of the stories didn't make a lot of sense, as Walliams made each of these worst teachers (which included a School Librarian and a Dinner Lady) virtually ran the schools they were in; having more pull than the Head Masters/Mistresses or even the parents whose children attended the schools where these teachers wreak havoc. He deems their poems “safe, banal, homogenized, cutesy, appalling” before tossing them out the window. I liked Miss Palaver's the drama teacher the most with the musical teachers second Mr and Mrs lovey dovey.
