Oops...I'm a Teacher

By Bud Frampton

The federal government, state education departments, university professors, and experts all have plenty of ideas and fix-it schemes for public education. Unfortunately, most of those people dont know what its like to teach. After 33 years in public education, Dr. Wilson (Bud) Frampton does know what its like. He spent 15 years in the pressure-cooker environment of middle school along with 18 years in the even more crucial testing ground of high school. When it comes to the ups and downs of daily life with hormonal adolescents, Dr. Frampton is a genuine expert. Oops, Im a Teacher is a memoir about the antics and actions of teaching, a candid look from the trenches, illuminated by anecdotes of entertaining and challenging situations, all told with unflinching realism. It is a genuine look at the environment, obstacles, and issues that permeate the lives of teachers, which are rarely addressed. Oops, Im a Teacher is also an object lesson in how a non-traditional pathway into secondary education, with military and business experience as a foundation, created a methodology allowing Dr. Frampton to transform an ordinary classroom experience into the extraordinary. Education receives loud criticism and soft praise. The real issues are seldom seen or discussed beyond school walls.Anyone who has spent time in the school system will recognize the memories unfolding within these pages and for those who want to learn what education is really about, this eye-opening memoir will provide food for thought. Oops, Im a Teacher educates, entertains, and gives priceless insight into an important job that most people dont know enough about.
