Presents a selection of the bloopers, mistakes and misunderstandings that kids have boldly come out with in their school work: from the innocent mispronunciations of younger children, to the facetious, inventive, or just downright stupid remarks of older students who should know better.

If the scrawl of red pen and a note from teacher to 'see me after class' are familiar memories from your school days, then you are not alone. In "School Fail", readers will find a fantastic selection of the side-splitting bloopers, mistakes and misunderstandings that kids have boldly come out with in their school work: from the innocent mispronunciations of younger children, to the facetious, inventive, or just downright stupid remarks of older students who should know better. For example: Q - Name the four seasons. A - Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar; 'John Milton wrote "Paradise Lost". Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained"'; 'The earth is surrounded by the moon, the sun, Mars and Penis'. Ridiculously funny and endlessly entertaining, "School Fail" celebrates the unique - and usually entirely unintentional - humour of students everywhere, guaranteed to have readers of any age howling in disbelief.
