How long can someone stand a frustrating teaching job under a micromanaging bonehead of a boss? And what can you do about it? Charley Berger tries to teach auto mechanics to a mixed bag of spoiled and indifferent students while fending off Bonehead's incessant stupid suggestions. He also deals with a boring home life and the attentions of a female night school student. Meanwhile, Sandra tries to teach computer operation to the completely unqualified while dealing with Bonehead and her alcoholic husband. Bonehead's assistant Marrs tries to gain some control with a flood of memos, while night school principal Carruthers pines for early retirement. The other teachers and staff are scared, trying for promotion, resigned to fate, or just incompetent. A desperate Charley attempts various plots and gets involved in various extra curricular activities, including rebuilding an old Pontiac GTO and semi-casual sex. Various things happen inside and outside of the school, some funny, some awful and some even good. Eventually things are resolved, sort of. Some get what they want, maybe, while others get what they deserve. Anybody who teaches, or has had a loony boss, should enjoy this book.

The Modern Automotive Technology Shop Manual contains thorough coverage of the tasks listed in the ASE Education Foundation Task List. Each job in this manual is a hands-on activity that corresponds to one or more of the ASE Education Foundation tasks. The jobs have been carefully organized and developed to increase the student's chances of passing the related ASE tests by having the student apply what has been learned in the classroom. The jobs are not correlated to specific textbook chapters, but will be assigned when the instructor determines that the student has sufficient knowledge to complete them. This manual steps the student through all essential ASE Education Foundation tasks including inspecting, testing, and diagnosing vehicle systems; removing and replacing self-contained components; and removing, overhauling, and reinstalling major components. This manual is divided into eight areas corresponding to the ASE certification areas and the eight areas of the ASE Education Foundation Task List. Each area of the manual is further subdivided into a number of projects, or collections of closely related jobs. The eight areas of the manual, the projects, and jobs they contain are color coded to make it easy to locate specific content in the manual. The projects in this manual include a brief introduction about the type of service being performed, a list of the jobs included in the project, and a tools and materials list for the jobs. The jobs in this manual are designed to be accomplished in one or two lab sessions. Check boxes are provided in the left-hand column of the job so the student can mark off tasks as they are performed. Blanks are provided for recording service-related information. If properly implemented, this manual will help the student to do well in his or her courses, pass the ASE certification tests, and find a job in the automotive industry.

The Auto Electricity and Electronics Shop Manual contains a series of Job Sheets that provide hands-on practice of skills and procedures aligned to the ASE Education Foundation Tasks. The Job Sheets allow students to develop the practical skills needed to succeed and are designed to be accomplished in one or two lab sessions. The Shop Manual Job Sheets are intended to be completed in a shop setting under the guidance of an instructor.
