    About this ebook

    This book is written from the perspective of a Biology teacher. If you are a teacher, student, parent or someone who took Biology in high school, you will enjoy this book. Faculty meetings, academic team meetings, parent phone calls along with scientific method, ecology, genetics and evolution are brought to life in Mr. Smith’s second period biology class. This book is more than that; it is educational satire that you may or may not find funny. If you are easily offended, pass on this one. However, if you are a thinking person, who understands that each of us is unique, with our own faults and proclivities and with the ability to laugh at ourselves and each other, this is the book for you. Enjoy.
