They Said What?! - Necessary, Jeff

. .

Résumé :
Fasten your seatbelts as you take a hilarious and shocking journey through the minds of teenagers. Learn their views of history, geography, politics, and relationships among other things. Jeff Necessary places you front row and center for this amazing journey. You will laugh. You might cry. You might even wonder, How is this possible? The quotes in this book are hilarious. I hope nobody finds out which one is mine (Destiny Gorum, student). This is such a great book. It highlights a teenagers' insight on the world through their eyes. This is a must-read, and you will not be able to put this book down. This book is just plain fun, coupled with high school students' view of life. Training young minds is a tough job (Jessica Greene, guidance counselor, North Myrtle Beach High School). As a teacher, assistant principal, and principal for twenty plus years, I can easily relate to the student statements and questions contained in this book. Currently, as director of human resources, I can envision requiring all new teachers to read both the They Said What? books. Within these pages, Jeff Necessary provides a front row seat to the shocking reality of the modern classroom. Although these books will generate much laughter, I feel it imperative that new teachers know exactly what to expect when they enter their classrooms. Providing professional responses to the types of statements and questions in this book can sometimes be challenging. Thank you, Mr. Necesssary. I look forward to more books in the future (Jonathan D. Russ, director of human resources, Fredericksburg Va. City Public Schools).

Higher Education Administration / Counseling) Lily &The Boys' is an excellent story to teach children the value of acceptance. As an elementary school teacher, I see this as one of the most important values we can teach our children. Acceptance, empathy and learning not to judge others unfairly are tools we can teach our kids so they can change the world. You really get it, Jeff Necessary. Kudos. - (Jenifer Jordan Jones, Halls Elementary School, Knoxville, Tn.) Lily & The Boys' explores powerful lessons about being more understanding and less judgmental towards others.
