The World’s Worst Teachers: David Walliams

Product Information

I understand why children love these little stories, because they are hilarious! But to me, it wasn't THAT good. I felt very nervous reading it and I got so HYPER! I couldn't just sit still while reading this. I get why children in my class can't stop fidgeting when reading books like this. I read this book with my 7-year-old daughter and I can't say that I enjoyed it much. Walliams appears to have created similar characters in certain stories, just giving them different subjects that they teach; like the Art Teacher, Miss Conceit, and the Drama Teacher, Miss Palaver , who both teach their classes based around themselves. After three books on the world's worst children, David Walliams and Tony Ross bring a new collection of ten terrifying tales of the world's worst teachers - the most dreadful, gruesome and sinister teachers you could possibly come across. If you thought your teachers were bad, wait till you read about these. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK! YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Die skrywer word (myns insiens tereg) deur die ‘Evening Standard’ met Roald Dahl vergelyk en ek kan nie wag om hierdie boek se pasmaat (‘Die aardigste kinders op aarde’) ook te lees nie. Beide is in Afrikaans vertaal deur Kobus Geldenhuys en is lieflike lywige boeke (meer as 300 bladsye) vir voor- én selflees vir kinders van 6 tot ouetehuis.

Playlists containing The World’s Worst Teachers, By David Walliams, Read by David Walliams, Helen McCrory, Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Emma Fryer, James Goode, Adjoa Andoh and Paul PantingA Chicago elementary school teacher took humiliating photos of a seven-year-old student’s hairstyle to post on Facebook. These ten tales of the world’s most splendidly sinister teachers will have you running for the school gates. Dr Dread teaches science and is half man, half monster… And as for Mr Phobe, he’s a teacher with a real difference. He is bone-shakingly terrified of… children!

Movie-world consequences: None for this particular incident, though Mr. Keating does eventually get fired for other reasons. This may and should probably be the last of this series – although each story is different and told with Walliams usual brilliance, this one did seem a little repetitive with many teachers ending up, floating away, blown away, washed away etc. It’s great, funny as a hedgehog in your pants and my daughter laughed her head off – but I feel he’s gone as far as he can with the series and this, if it is the last of the series, is a very fitting bookend to that series of books! This book is about the world's worst teachers in lots of different schools. The teachers were bossy, the maths teacher wouldn't let the pupils use balls because he was scared of them. The person I liked best is Chewy or Rebel. I like this book because it is very funny and I recommend reading it if you like David Walliams (author). Ukailya Lofton showed up on school photo day with Jolly Rancher candies tied to her braids. Her teacher asked her to pose for a photo, saying, ‘My husband’s not going to believe this.’ It was very funny , my absolute favourite character was Miss Conceit because she loved art so much her students fooled her into making her a piece of art! I would recommend it to someone who enjoys laughs but also a bit of everything because all of the stories/teachers are unique.

The World’s Worst Teachers

Die voorblad waarsku: ‘Pasop! Tien gril-en gilstories’ en die voorwoord sluit hierby aan deur te verduidelik dat die boek die leser gaan voorstel aan 10 onnies wat ‘die mislikste spul grootmense op aarde’ is. Most schools have some sort of formula for calculating students’ final grades every semester. Exams, papers, homework, and class participation all get a percentage weight; teachers plug in the numbers for each category and come up with a grade that goes on the report card. But at the school in Clueless, the system seems a bit more subjective. When Cher receives her report card at the beginning of the movie, she’s horrified--but then declares that the grades are “just a jumping-off point to start negotiations.” Her gym teacher boosts her grade after Cher tells her she’s going through a break up; her world history teacher also gives her more points for promising to start a letter-writing campaign; her debate grade goes up after she finds the teacher a girlfriend. Cher’s father’s incredulousness when he sees the revised report card speaks for itself: “What’d you do, turn in some extra credit reports? Take the midterms over?” When Cher answers no to both questions, it dawns on him, “You mean to tell me you argued your way from a C-plus to an A-minus?” I really like this book my favourite part is when one of doctor dread’s students sits on doctor dread’s chair of 1000 farts and farts and says “Make that 1001 farts.“

Dlouho jsme před spaním nečetli knížku, u které bych tak trpěla. Příběhy jsou otravně repetitivní (zvlášť pokud už máte pár autorových knížek za sebou), zhruba polovinu textu tvoří citoslovce jako VŽUUUM!, ŘACH!, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! a podobně, a toho záchodového humoru je už zkrátka tak moc, že už to nepřipadá vtipný ani těm dětem. Each Powerpoint start with an inference image, followed by the learning objective, prediction/re-cap questions, inference questions using the illustrations of the teachers from the book, teacher then interactiveky reads the start of the short story and the children partner read the rest of the short story, the children then complete partner questions on whiteboards and finally, the independent questions at the end of the PowerPoint. PP1 does not have independent questions as this lesson is the introductory lesson for the week’s work based around this book. It’s sad but I don’t really find these books that funny but my grandsons love them and they are the target audience..... 6 to 12 but hey could be to 99. The language is often old fashioned and there are lots of made up words that make the kids giggle. The story’s are reminiscent of Dahl, as David Williams is always being compared, but to me had shades of Seuss and the Story Treehouse series. As long as the kids love them I will keep on buying them for them. The stories are a similar structure to WWC, often with moral lessons and comeuppances to those who need them, and lots of chances for readers to loathe and laugh at some over-the-top stereotypes and situations.Californian teacher Tonya Neff allegedly taught her class while drunk. The forty-seven-year-old was arrested after school administrators told police Neff was ‘showing signs of intoxication’ on campus at Toro Canyon Middle School. If you’re looking for some exciting activities to keep boredom at bay, then you’ve definitely come to the right place! Scroll down for a treasure trove of fantastic activities, all inspired by David Walliams’ tremendous tales. Die humor is vlymskerp en word aangevul deur voetnotas; die gebruik van wisselende lettertipes en -groottes en prettige volkleurillustrasies. Klanke maak deel uit van die teks en sal ongetwyfeld bydra tot die vreugde van voorlees vir kleintjies (Dwa! Zzz! Swoesj! Kadwaa! Boing!). Verskeie woordspelings het my laat glimlag (Kinders as kunstenaars = KAK) en ‘n situasie in ‘n oorvol detensieklas (‘Hou op in my neus krap! Ek’s vreeslik jammer; ek dog dis myne!’) het my kliphard laat skater. I thought that this book was just hilarious. that's all I can say as I don't want to give it away. The only other thing I can say is if you have the opportunity to, then READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Na prvním místě je třeba uznat, že dceři se Nejhorší učitelé na světě líbili. Jenže tohle je můj píseček.

Some of the teachers shouldn't even be part of The World's Worst Teachers; like the Sports Teacher, Mr Bulk, and the Head Master, Mr Phobe , who don't even rate as worse teachers, as Mr Bulk (besides telling a lot of stories about how great of an athlete he is) assists his football team in winning the trophy and Mr Phobe is simply scared of teaching children, due to some bullying incidents that he had to deal with earlier on in his career. A deaf Reddit user recounted how his sadistic third-grade teacher removed his two hearing aids and forced him to sit alone in the hallway. I started and finished this book with a smile on my face, and I had more then a few genuine laugh out loud moments. Several parents, who planned to go on lying to their kids for a few more years, complained and apologies were issued.

Have you read this book…

It's all very entertaining, and a refreshing change from horrible children. I listened to the audiobook from our local library, on school runs. So we missed illustrations and visual lists, Tony Ross's usual high standard I expect. But we did get to hear the author reading his own work, and as usual, his acting experience and natural persona/charm/whatever you want to call it brings out the humour, the playing with language and just general insanity.
