If you're one of those people who figure teachers don't need a raise with all those vacations and holidays and summers off, Hey, Coach will make you think again. Brett Merrill takes readers into the gym and onto the field with this heartwarming, gut wrenching, and mostly hilarious collection of anecdotes from his seven years as an elementary PE teacher and high school football and golf coach. Merrill devotes an entire chapter to the importance of making the job fun-and then he practices what he preaches in delivering his message to students, parents, administrators and anyone who will listen. Once you stop laughing, this insightful and uplifting book will renew your faith not only in the school system but in mankind as well.
