Rachel was one of the high school's best teachers and got on well with everyone. The kids got good grades and everyone liked her. Recently she had become increasingly ambivalent toward the profession and felt she was going nowhere.
Her managers were grinding her down. The students began to irritate her with their juvenile behavior.
The needlessly excessive paperwork, marking, and time-consuming training sessions were starting to make Rachel wonder if she should just leave and pursue her dreams.
Then fresh-faced and eager journalist Joy Attwood spent the day with her to discover what being a high school teacher was really like. Unbeknownst to Joy, however, was that she had chosen one of the worst days of Rachel's professional life; she was hungover, impatient, and ready to explode.
Joy wanted to investigate the teaching profession and spend the day in their shoes to understand what their professional lives were really like. Rachel made sure it was a day neither of them would forget.

Fantastic, Funny and Outstanding! In Their Shoes, had me laughing, had my jaw hanging wide open and tears in my eye and then more giggles. My Mother was an elementary school teacher in New Jersey, USA. I remember her telling my Father when I was little about different teachers and how they acted or what they said. As I got older and she taught Special Ed., I remember her talking about different students and their parents. She would also sometimes tell stories about the administration and the stupid things they would do. I didn't think much about it at the time and she ended up teaching for 42 years.But the setting of In Their Shoes, is so much different. For one it's in the UK and their names for grades is so different and I chuckled at that. The story is told by an journalist, Joy Attwood, following a teacher, Rachel Weir, to write a documentary about her and teaching. Now everybody has their own idea as to what a teacher does all day. Some say it's an easy job, that they are just babysitting. Others don't understand why teachers want and need pay raises. But as you follow Rachel and Joy for the day, you get the idea that teaching isn't what you think it is. You are a mediator, a warm hug, a friend, a disciplinarian, a shoulder to cry on, a door mat to be walked on and so much more.
Rachel is a ruff and tuff kind of women. Smokes a lot, not afraid to speak up and out of line to voice her opinion. If this is a true story, then she would be in jail her in the US, for the way she speaks to the children. She uses curse words and call's them names. Some the come backs from the kids and Rachel, make you laugh and shake your head. Trying to understand the lingo of the students is fascinating in it's self. Rachel is observed that day and is unprepared and in a foul mood from a hangover. The class is totally out of hand and she can't seen to ring them in. She tries to teach them, to no avail. Now this all goes against you and in your file. You are graded on your performance in the classroom. And Rachel was going down hill fast. Her reaction, who gives a f---! I loved it!!!!
One of the periods, Rachel had Joy teach her very first class. Joy had no idea what to do and just winged it. She had the class's attention as she opened the door to the kids in the hall and with a voice of a drill sergeant, told them to line up. Then she saw two boys with their ties off and with that same voice told them to put them on. I was laughing so hard that I almost pissed myself. I could see me doing that! Joy continued with that same voice to start the class off. and she did fantastic! But Rachel was not pleased with Joy's performance. Matter of fact, Rachel just shunned Joy off. Why was Rachel so upset? Did Joy do something wrong? At first I thought it was what Joy talked to the class about. But later as the day started to wind down, Rachel reveals why and how come to Joy and she is shocked.
Andrew Mackay is a new author to me and what made me decide to review this book, was that it's about teachers and I know something about them. Well I was blown away with what I read and had to laugh out loud thinking of my Mother teaching in this school. She was prim and proper and the way the author told the story, well I'm still laughing. Very well written, even though it's in the British language. But being from the US, it just added to the fun of the book. (no hard feeling over there in the UK) Anyway, I really enjoyed the book and the style of Andrew's writing. I am looking forward the rest of the series.

This is book 1 of the series. I enjoyed it.
I went through a bunch of emotions as I read this book. It was funny but parts of it seemed way too real. Good book.
I taught preschool so this book is just my read. Great plot and wonderful characters. A well-written book A must read!
British satire and humor at its best. This is book 1 of In Their Shoes Trilogy and it starts the series off with a bang.

Joy Attwood has decided to become a journalist, visiting a different professional each day.
The Teacher has her involved in being late, cheating, lying, cutting class, stressed out, on the verge of self destructing or totally bored...and that's the staff. All Joy has to do is to follow Rachel's lead...one of the school's best teachers, while dealing with annoying and obnoxious students and staff and excessive paperwork. Joy has to teach a class, on her own, will little more than what Rachel reveals of underhand tricks and cutting corners.
In Their Shoes series -- The Teacher (Book I) - The Actor (Book II) - The Model (Book III) - The Artist (Book IV) - The Nurse (Book V) - The Dealer The Deranged, Ultra-Violent Crime Epic! VI
I didn't get it! Maybe there were too many references to things in the British culture that I have not heard of, but if there was humour it was lost on me. Also, there was too much cussing, by both teachers and students. How could a child being forcefully stripped and molested, by her own brother, ever be considered a punch line? Well, I tried it and decieded it's not for me.
Just OK - hard to really get into the book but I kept reading hoping it would get better. Won't be reading any of the other books in the series.
