Bøker av Robert Storms

The first edition of School Stories was a charming, folksy accounting of life in a middle school band room with a few field trips, and parades thrown in for good measure. Bob, teacher, professional musician/composer, and consummate storyteller, decided to revisit these tales and has added a few new ones to the mix. There are stories of classroom pranks, unusual situations, problems, decisions and solutions that shaped the outcome of a teacher's not-so-typical school days in the public school music department. Although the book will offer joy and create smiles, appealing to all of us who have experienced that unique time of middle school as teachers, students or parents; the LOL variety of humor is largely absent. The humor in "School Stories" is seen through the eyes of the reader as there are no jokes or funny things that the students had said. No, the day to day humor in the stories can be best described in just a few words, "middle school music students - expect the unexpected."
