Comedian Gerry Dee recently put on a show at the Imperial Theatre and you might remember him from his TV show “Mr. Dee” where he plays a teacher.
It shouldn’t be that much of a stretch since Dee worked as a teacher and lived to write about it in a book entitled “Teaching…….It’s Harder Than It Looks” and parents need to learn your kids are not angels.
Dee tells CHSJ News he was bullied at school and he just laughed it off which left his tormentor with nowhere else to go but there are alot of mean kids out there.
Dee has another message for parents…….Don’t expect your child’s teacher to be a superhero. Keep your expectations low and you might be pleasantly surprised.
As a teacher, Dee says he always tried to make the students laugh while knowing the subject matter well and maintaining order in the classroom. That, to him, is about as good as it gets.
