The poems in this book are definitely funny- some push the lines of appropriateness (but doesn't the daily life of a teacher as well?!) They seem to be written more from a high school teacher's point of view and therefore may not ring as true to primary/intermediate teachers.
Don't hide your copy-share it with co-workers!

The poems tickle the funnybone, pull on the heartstrings and definitely hit the target for anyone who has had the often inexplicable experience of working with students. The title poem hits home as I work in the town I live in and am always encountering students who find it incredulous that teachers buy groceries and toilet paper!! A recommended read for the rookie or veteran teacher!!!
Cute Read!

The poems in this book are a must read for any teacher! I've read my book at least 50 times and it just gets better. The insight and humor keeps my attitude towards teaching fresh...even after 26 years! Every student teacher and new teacher that I mentor gets a copy.
Great, Funny and Thought-provoking book!

Hide Your Ex-Lax under The Wheaties lifted my spirits tremendously and helped me realize that all the good things in teaching far out weigh the troubles. "Music & More," a CD by Moonlighting Teachers has taken some of the poems and readings from Ex-Lax and set them to music. What a fun addition to this book! You must listen to it too!
