Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
There’s just not enough money to get me to go teach a bunch of third-graders. The girls whine, the boys smell like puppies, and teacher-parent conferences have got to be the closest thing to hell this side of Barney Live! When mechanical engineer John Pearson was laid off, he took a teaching job—third-grade math and science. In his novel, Learn Me Good, he tells the story of a year in the life of a new teacher, during which he finds that the maturity level of his corporate colleagues is not much different from that of his third-graders. John Pearson will sign copies of his book 2 p.m. Saturday at Borders bookstore,
