Thanks for Chucking that at the Wall Instead of Me
(2005, 2018)
An informative and reflective study of teaching at-risk students, Thanks for Chucking That at the Wall Instead of Me is a window into what many classroom teachers don’t get to see in their whirlwind vision of a disruptive student. One teacher’s experience is shared in a way that all teachers will relate to, on both a professional and personal level. The book offers a glimpse into real lives and the pain, struggles and emotion beneath the behaviour of “bad” kids.

Praise for Thanks for Chucking that at the Wall Instead of Me
Monica Nawrocki has written a very personal and eloquent expose of working with at-risk school children. In a compelling narrative, the author provides us with an engaging and passionate glimpse of school culture and the ups and down of teaching at-risk students within the public school environment. This easy-to-read book taught me several valuable lessons, provided insights into the minds of at-risk students, and offered numerous new strategies using compassion, humour and positive reinforcement. |
