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.
Their first installment, The Magic School Bus At the Waterworks, was released in 1986. Readers from around the world fell in love with both the book and its peculiar, red-headed protagonist. According to Walker, she was modeled after âan eccentric second-grade teacher in my school who everyone thought was the best.
