He tells jokes with the kind of mocking humor that gets a laugh, yet can be safely shared in school. After all, even great schools have bad days -- when lesson plans fall through, disgruntled parents complain, kids throw temper tantrums because they have to use the same spoon for their applesauce and mashed potatoes, and of course, dealing with... The Horror! The Horror!... dreaded assessments. Ranging from practical topics like social media use in the class­room and parent-teacher conferences to more lighthearted sections such as "Pickup and Dropoff: An Exercise in Humanity" and "School Supplies: Yes, We Really Need All That Stuff," Go See the Principal offers comic relief, inspiration, and advice to those who need it the most. Review: Funny Look into School Life. - This book was such an enjoyable read! Gerry Brooks does a great job of mixing humor with real-life experiences from the school world. It’s lighthearted, funny, and also very relatable if you’ve ever been in a school setting. I found myself laughing out loud at several parts. Highly recommend for teachers, parents, or anyone who wants a fun, honest look into school life. Review: Highly recommended - Go See the Principal: True Tales from the School Trenches is by Gerry Brooks. I have been watching videos by Gerry Brooks on Youtube and loved them. I decided to learn more about him so Googled him. That was when I found out he had written two books. Only one was available on my Kindle, so I got it and ordered this one as a hard copy. I am so glad that I took the time to learn more about him and found these books. This one is just what a new teacher should read. It covers a lot of things; but in a funny way. I do have to admit that his videos are funnier. However, as a former teacher, I can easily see where he is coming from and basically agree with what he is saying. I just wish I had this prior to retiring. Unlike his videos, this is written in correct English but occasionally his Southern roots come through. Gerry takes information he learned in his years as a teacher and now as a principle and creates things that help make a teacher stronger and a principal look better. His primary interest, however, is the success of the students and the teachers. He has also included some suggestions from other teachers from other grade levels. This makes the book good for all levels of teaching. I suggest this book be one that new teachers and returning teachers read prior to returning to school in the fall. However, since school has already started, maybe read it prior to another break. It points out to remember, you are not in this alone. It would also be good for a book study or a book club. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #70 in Education Administration (Books) #141 in Humor Essays (Books) #92,190 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,910 Reviews | ## Images ![Go See the Principal: True Tales from the School Trenches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o8-0hyh6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny Look into School Life. *by J***N on August 19, 2025* This book was such an enjoyable read!

I love Gerry's honesty. I love that he is saying things that I have either said myself or heard other educators say. I love that he speaks to parents, teachers, and administrators. This book is pretty much written for everyone who wants to improve their life! I have been reading parts of this book to my two boys. They were laughing so hard last night when I was reading the substitute line while describing what life is like in a Kindergarten classroom. "What's the weather like outside?" "Fluffy". TOO FUNNY! They especially laughed at the Lunchables story and what it's like to serve in a cafeteria. "Get that shoe off your tray" is a phrase I have never heard somebody say after serving in the cafeteria. But, of course, Gerry goes there! What I love most about this book is that starting in the fall I will be working on my M.Ed. in Administration at Texas A&M University. WHOOP! I underlined so many parts and highlighted so many great points that I want to keep in mind while performing the role of an administration. Most of all, I want to remember to support my teachers and value their feedback. (Totally stole that from Gerry. Seems simple - but those two items are left out of so many schools.) Thank you, Gerry, for setting me up for success! You have inspired me and shown me that I can do this job while maintaining my humorous and positive personality. I see now that I don't have to change my values or personality just to become an admin. I can just be the person God created me to be and continue loving what I do by serving others! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/117309885-go-see-the-principal-true-tales-from-the-school-trenches](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/117309885-go-see-the-principal-true-tales-from-the-school-trenches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
