About the Book

Student Bloopers.  All teachers get them in class.  All teachers laugh at them and share them with friends.  Every teacher swears that they will save them and some day write a book.  That is exactly what Jim Womack has done.  Each year he collected the best wisdom and wit from his students’ writings and compiled them into a highly readable and hilarious look at what happens to History when students get hold of it.  Prepare yourself for an amusement park ride through the hallowed themes of History.
