A teacher is hurt by a hit and run driver in the parking lot after January exams. His schedule has to be filled by others. The protagonist, Claire H?bert, the inveterate planner, gets a last minute timetable change. The same day her boyfriend has given her a puppy, which she only reluctantly to accepted because she already felt overwhelmed by schoolwork. She struggles to do her best with the new workload, but she's a workaholic and it causes problems in her personal life. As the term progresses, Claire, an academic teacher, deals with teaching basic math to the class she inherits, the spoiled brat son of a colleague, students who are rude and rebellious, students who have learning or behavioural differences, a student who is cyber bullied, students who lie, and students who constantly play games on their igadgets. We see how differently the vice principals support teachers in conflict with students. She also has excellent students: the boy who can fix anything technical, the girls who surround and help the cyber-bullying victim; the kids who support each other during difficult emotional trials; the student who tutors a classmate, and students who prevail over difficult learning differences. We meet the unpredictable principal and her vice principals, her favourite, lazy and misled, the other hard working and disciplined. Claire's love life, the career decision she has to make and the students who constantly affect the status quo are intertwined with the happenings, activities and dramas of a semester in a secondary school.

Chris Williams delivers a strong character in Claire Hébert. I feel she represents what I'd want to see in a teacher mentoring my own children. She is dedicated, and her struggle within the system trying to fight for her own beliefs about how best to educate the children was very engaging. It is enlightening to see the components of the educational system from the viewpoint of a teacher, and even though it is a fictional story, I believed it could be something that happens every day in real life. The experience of the author makes the story credible. The students in the book are all unique and beg for your attention. 'Behind the Teacher's Desk: The Rules were Made for Everyone but Me' is an informative and thought provoking read. ( )
