More Tales from the Classroom at the End of the Hall by Douglas Evans

Such hard-won breaches in the ramparts of official and corporate secrecy helped change laws and lives. An apostle of the ideal of a newspaper as much as its practice, his books on press freedom, history, photography and tradecraft (the latter in five volumes) further attest to a core passion forged as a child of the “self-consciously respectable working class” around industrial Manchester in the 1930s.ĭuring his golden years as editor of the Northern Echo (1961–66) and Sunday Times (1967–81), this rare blend of qualities propelled a chain of power-shaking scoops on many topics: from air pollution and cervical smear tests, through corporate tax avoidance and espionage cover-ups, to the blighting foetal deformities caused by an unsafe pregnancy treatment produced by the multinational Distillers company. Justly so, given his rare portfolio of journalistic skills, girded by omnivorous curiosity and unflagging brio, devotion to truth and mettle in its pursuit. The nine laugh-out-loud funny tales in this zany collection teach valuable lessons about teaching, learning, and life in a third-grade classroom.Harold Evans, who died in New York on 23 September 2020 aged ninety-two, was the most esteemed British newspaper editor of the later twentieth century. Leeks exterminated the classroom at the end of the hall. It looked like she was never going to have to cheat again, until Mr. It just crawled into her ear and started telling her the answers to all of her schoolwork. Not to mention what happened to Rosalie, who always copies answers off of other kids' papers.

But he has to read it to find out what's going to happen. And Kenneth-that kid who hates reading? Well, he found a book that can tell his future.

Namely, he got himself-Roger-disturbing the class and making everyone, even himself, miserable. First of all, when Roger was cleaning the erasers, out billowed a huge cloud of chalk dust-and a chalk dust genie! And when the genie granted the Roger's wish to be the teacher of the class, Roger got more than he bargained for. You know the classroom at the end of the hall? The one with the tall teacher? And the Pain-In-The-Neck who likes to write his name on the blackboard in snot? Yeah, well, weird stuff has been going on down the hall.
