Summary

Public school is a daunting, tedious, occasionally bloody experience shared by millions of students, current and former. Classroom fights, incompetent teachers, sex in bathrooms, rigid social castes - it's shocking most of us graduated able to read. Take Out Your Earrings Before You Fight takes a dry, witty look at all the things you learn - and everything you don't - while slogging through the K-12 system.

fun, but TW: violence against children

If you have followed Chelsea's other work and fancy a quick jolly through her teenage anecdotes (and I am!) this is great.

Contains graphic (ish) descriptions of school fights. Chelsea is (was? this was published at least 7 years ago) also pro corporate punishment for children if that's an issue for you.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
