About this deal

After three books on the world's worst children, David Walliams and Tony Ross bring a new collection of ten terrifying tales of the world's worst teachers - the most dreadful, gruesome and sinister teachers you could possibly come across. If you thought your teachers were bad, wait till you read about these. Like many teachers, Ms. Halsey feels tremendous pressure to ensure her students do well on their high-stakes standardized tests. (Unlike most teachers--hopefully--she wants her kids to succeed so she can get a bonus to pay for breast implants.) She crosses the ethical and legal line, though, when she poses as a journalist to gain access to the state test questions and answers. Walliams great theatrical and comical mind goes into overdrive with this collection of ten short stories, many being outlandishly devilish and enjoyable to no end, but I couldn’t help but see many of the stories ending in the same way – with the teacher disappearing out of the school in a variety of ways, maybe this is because all children want rid of their teacher, but for me I found it quite predictable and after a couple it becomes a little (dare I say it) boring. My daughter who is nine also commented on this fact, but still bent over double whilst we read them, and I guess she is more his demographic, rather than a thirty-seven year old who doesn’t want to grow up!

Movie-world consequences: The police don’t believe Jeanie when she calls to report the intruder, so she takes the law into her own hands.Playlists containing The World’s Worst Teachers, By David Walliams, Read by David Walliams, Helen McCrory, Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Emma Fryer, James Goode, Adjoa Andoh and Paul Panting And as for Mr Phobe, he’s a teacher with a real difference. He is bone-shakingly terrified of… children! Movie-world consequences: Ms. Halsey’s students ace the state test, she gets the bonus, and though a fellow teacher accuses her of cheating, Ms. Halsey is never punished. In fact, she gets promoted to guidance counselor the following year. Na prvním místě je třeba uznat, že dceři se Nejhorší učitelé na světě líbili. Jenže tohle je můj píseček. David Walliams is at it again and after three volumes of The World’s Worst Children he turns his pen and mind to The World’s Worst Teachers. I have to say that I did very much enjoy these stories, with many reminding me of some of my worst teachers – this volume is told with Walliams usual wit and jovial brilliance, with oodles of bum and poo jokes it’s as if you’re on a school trip to the local sewage works.

Mr. Keating shows he’s not your average prep-school instructor in all sorts of ways: encouraging his students to stand on their desks, requesting to be called “O Captain, My Captain,” and so on. But perhaps the most bizarre (and therefore the most delightful to his buttoned-up pupils) example of his iconoclasm comes when he instructs his class to rip out the introduction to their poetry books. David Walliams has delighted us all with tales of children that are so horrendous, parents everywhere are thankful that their not there offspring. Now Walliams takes on the worst adults on Earth apparently - teachers. Each chapter in the book retells the terrible frightening antics of one teacher, each more horrifying than the last, but also horrendously funny. I recommend this book. I think it is one of my favourite books that David Walliams published.It's hilarious one of my favourite chapters was Doctor Dread and the chair of a thousand farts.Our Reading Den is a place for you and your child to discover and share books, find new authors and explore stories. Here is a library of books created by a community of parents and children where you can browse books that others have enjoyed and recommended. David Walliams has revolutionised reading for children and become one of the most influential children’s writers today. Since the publication of his ground-breaking first novel, The Boy in the Dress (2008), Walliams has seen unprecedented growth with global sales exceeding 40 million copies, and his books translated into 53 languages.

Die skrywer word (myns insiens tereg) deur die ‘Evening Standard’ met Roald Dahl vergelyk en ek kan nie wag om hierdie boek se pasmaat (‘Die aardigste kinders op aarde’) ook te lees nie. Beide is in Afrikaans vertaal deur Kobus Geldenhuys en is lieflike lywige boeke (meer as 300 bladsye) vir voor- én selflees vir kinders van 6 tot ouetehuis.A deaf Reddit user recounted how his sadistic third-grade teacher removed his two hearing aids and forced him to sit alone in the hallway. It's all very entertaining, and a refreshing change from horrible children. I listened to the audiobook from our local library, on school runs. So we missed illustrations and visual lists, Tony Ross's usual high standard I expect. But we did get to hear the author reading his own work, and as usual, his acting experience and natural persona/charm/whatever you want to call it brings out the humour, the playing with language and just general insanity. Ms. Perky’s job at Padua High is to be a guidance counselor, but she makes no attempt to hide her true calling: erotic novelist. She spends more time working on her manuscript than she does advising students, and she even asks her advisees for help in coming up with words to describe her hero’s anatomy.

I thought that this book was just hilarious. that's all I can say as I don't want to give it away. The only other thing I can say is if you have the opportunity to, then READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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. She manages to talk her dad into letting her compete with the mathletes, but she knows she should go straight home after the team wins. Her teacher Ms. Norbury encourages her to ignore her parents. “You’re already out,” she shrugs. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK! YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This may and should probably be the last of this series – although each story is different and told with Walliams usual brilliance, this one did seem a little repetitive with many teachers ending up, floating away, blown away, washed away etc. 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!Die voorblad waarsku: ‘Pasop! Tien gril-en gilstories’ en die voorwoord sluit hierby aan deur te verduidelik dat die boek die leser gaan voorstel aan 10 onnies wat ‘die mislikste spul grootmense op aarde’ is. A Chicago elementary school teacher took humiliating photos of a seven-year-old student’s hairstyle to post on Facebook.
