When Mike Morris was in the 8th grade, all the teachers in the school signed a petition to remove him from all county schools. In an ironic twist of fate, he began teaching middle school English when he turned 40. While modeling a writing activity for his students, he presented an assortment of personal narratives based on his youth. Over the years, students would often laugh and occasionally cry. Sometimes, they would express outrage. As they became more acquainted with his youthful past, students began to demand an answer to the question: "How did they let you become a teacher?"
KARMA REDIRECTED: HOW DID THEY LET YOU BECOME A TEACHER is his first book – an attempt to respond to his young students and solve that mystery.
