“Elizabeth Rose’s Yo Miz! is hands down the best book ever written about the experience of being an ATR (rotating substitute teacher) in the nightmare world of Michael Bloomberg’s Department of Education. Following her journey from school to school is heartbreaking and infuriating, especially because this is an incredibly talented teacher who LOVES young people. Her portraits of the students she meets are filled with empathy, humor, and an incredible ear for dialogue. But the treatment she receives, along with thousands of others in her position, is a sure sign of an education policy that has gone off the deep end, at the expense of children as well as teachers. This book takes an awful subject and brings it to life in a way that will make readers laugh and tug at their heartstrings. A must read!”
