When I got my current job, I had the choice of a grant funded job, or this one. I took this one because the funding is secure until the department is closed down. With a grant funded job, youâll probably have more interesting work. Itâll look good on your resume and teach you a lot.
My first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School was not distributed well when it first appeared in 1978. The book was difficult for parents and teachers to find. It never sold very many copies, but I got lots of fan letters that greatly encouraged me.
Sideways Stories from Wayside School. 1  There'd been a terrible mistake.  2 Watch closely, said Mrs. Jewls. 3  All the kids from Wayside School had to spend 243 days in horrible schools while Wayside closed to get rid of the cows (Don't ask!).  4 Everyone take out your spelling books, said Mrs. Jewls. It's time for arithmetic.. Sue is so excited for her first day at Wayside School. But things at Wayside are far from normalâand Sue's teacher, Mrs. Jewls, is completely wacky.
