This is an irreverent guide to the strange world of teachers. Illustrated with cartoons and diagrams, the book gives pupils advice on how to approach and handle their teachers, including tips and hints on lifestyles and habits. It shows how to find out if a teacher is really an alien or a vampire or - possibly - even human and offers guidance on the various teacher "types". The book is designed for any pupil wanting to get on in the academic world.
