About the Book
How many times have you picked up the newspaper and read about a mishap occurring at a school? Regardless of where the school was located, the school was nothing more than a building. What made the school a school was what went on inside of the building and who supervised what went on inside of the building. Today, people are fascinated about the looks of the grounds, prestigious location, and the athletic programs; but have little personal experience behind the doors. Their imagination can serve only as a substitute. This fastback provides a valuable insight in the field of education, and may be helpful to that potential educator or seasoned veteran. But more importantly is what you should know that is contained in the Code of Conduct ~ that may save you from the potential pitfalls that can haunt you later on the front page of the local newspaper.
