Go See the Principal
Go See the Principal: True Tales from the School Trenches | Gerry Brooks
9 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
From an elementary school principal and popular YouTube personality, inspiration and humor for educators to tackle the challenges they face day-in and day-out Gerry Brooks is an elementary school principal turned YouTube celebrity, and the creator of YouTube videos such as "First Week of School Stress" (over 1.6 million views and counting). He tells jokes with the kind of mocking--yet folksy and good-natured--humor that gets a laugh from teachers and administrators (yet can be safely shared in school). Served up with a dash of humor and a healthy dose of wisdom, Go See the Principal expands on the author's viral video fame and offers comic relief and inspiration to educators. Ranging from practical topics like social media use in the classroom to parent-teacher conferences to more humorous sections such as "Ten Ways to Spot a Teacher in Public" and "Seven Gift Ideas for Your Teacher's Birthday," Go See the Principal is both the comic relief and practical advice all educators need. Brooks also shares suggestions, ideas, and declarations commonly heard in and around the classroom--as well as illustrations, both from students and inspired by them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love Principal Gerry (pronounced like “Gary,” it turns out) Brooks‘s videos! This expansion on his social media success is a great read for both educators and parents. Thoughtful, funny, and full of useful advice. Definitely go for the audio, as he narrates perfectly.

This was a gift from my boss, who thought something light and funny might be just what I needed right now. If you're an educator and have never seen Gerry Brooks's Facebook videos, you're missing out! The book is cute with a few good ideas sprinkled throughout. #teachersoflitsy

Every teacher, administrator and parent should read this book! Very real issues discussed with some humor. I will for sure be telling my fellow staff members about this book!

A storm just blew through and the temp dropped quite a bit. I ran right onto the porch to read and watch, but it stopped fairly quickly. Now I‘m just sitting out here reading until it becomes too hot again. #mylifeishard

As someone who works in education (paraprofessional in an Early Childhood special education classroom 8+ years) I have always been a fan of his videos. When I saw he put out a book I knew I had to check it out. Really enjoying it so far.
