"...hilarious memoir--journey through the NYC public schools. Anyone who has ever taught, or had any interaction with public education should read this book. Rose caroms from well-resourced high-achieving schools to crumbling castles of chaos and neglect, begging for bathroom keys from assistant principals, commiserating with the other lost and floating teachers, & connecting with the students as she improvises in every subject from math to ESL. It's a rollicking--and enraging--picaresque romp. Imagine a Daily Show correspondent taking a job as a substitute teacher." Molly Turner, author

"Yo Miz! should be required reading for all teachers, parents, people who want to be teachers, people who want to be parents. School administrators (in our dreams), legislators (again dreaming), let's add politicians too, why not? Pretty much everyone. It is a funny, sad, beautiful book that ultimately will make you mad as hell." Katherine Hall Page, author, Faith Fairchild mysteries

Author Bio:

“Edu-tainer” Elizabeth Rose, who has created music and comedy for stage, film and TV, swore she would never follow the advice of her parents, both teachers, and become a teacher. But she took a gig teaching songwriting in a NYC public high school. When the job was cut, she was asked to sub in a new school each week, a temptation no storyteller could resist. During this same wacky year, she performed her one-woman musical comedy, Relative Pitch, at the Cherry Lane Theatre, Off Broadway.
