Students have back-to-school anxiety books to soothe their fears, but where are copies of “The Student From the Black Lagoon” or “Mrs. Smith and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” to soothe the nerves of teachers?

    All student nightmares of not being able to find the classroom and showing up to school inappropriately dressed are multiplied in the nightmares of teachers who have the same anxieties. We dream of first days without textbooks, of standing in front of the room in bathing suits, of arriving at the wrong school or the wrong classroom.
