Review of The Support Staff at Your School
The Support Staff at Your School is a fantastic children’s book by Andrew C. Kirkpatrick. The purpose of the book is to educate children about the various support roles in a school, beyond just teachers and administrative staff. It does a wonderful job of explaining the importance of roles such as custodians and mechanics in maintaining a well-functioning school environment.
As an adult who has long since completed school, reading the book made me realize that I had never truly considered the integral role that individuals like cleaners and cafeteria staff play as part of the school staff. Honestly, I am guilty of only considering positions like principal, vice principal, dean, and teachers as part of the staff. I now see the importance of recognizing and appreciating all members of the school community for their contributions. I recognize how the book’s content can help foster a greater sense of gratitude and respect from children toward support staff.
What I particularly liked about the book was its simplicity and clarity. The writing is straightforward, making it easy for young children to comprehend. The illustrations by Blake Marsee are also simplistic but still visually engaging, effectively portraying the different support roles within a school to help children better relate to and understand the content.
I did not notice any grammatical errors in the book, indicating thorough editing and attention to detail.
In conclusion, this book is an excellent educational resource for children of elementary school age. I highly recommend it to teachers and parents as a tool for helping children better understand and appreciate the individuals who contribute to their education and well-being every day. The book can also remind teachers and parents about the often-overlooked roles that support staff play in creating a positive school environment. There is nothing that I dislike about this book, so I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
