You remember high school don’t you?

Well, at least some of it right?

English class, P. E., maybe the cafeteria, your first crush?

But there’s a place in all high schools in America that few of us, thank God, had to visit.

Even those of you that “visited” this place didn’t get to see most of what went on “in there”.

I’m referring to the dreaded “Discipline Office”!

So, take a journey back with me to a most interesting part of my public school career, let’s go down to “The belly of the beast” and take a peek into…The Discipline Office of “School Daze”.

About The Author

Edward Neil Cobin

Ed Cobin was born in Far Rockaway, New York in 1948. His family moved to Miami when Ed was 10. He was a surfer in high school and the typical hippie of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Ed enjoyed three different colleges where it took him five years to acquire a four-year degree.

Ed began his teaching career at North Miami High School in 1974 where he taught for seven years and retired from Miami Beach High in 2009 after 37 years of service.

Ed enjoys sleeping late, working out, riding his Harley and going to the beach. He is happily married to Fran for 43 years so far, and has a daughter, Deena and a grandson Joey 12.

Enjoy the ride as Ed Cobin takes you on a trip that will make you laugh, smile, learn and perhaps even cry.

Entertaining & thought provoking!

Ed Cobin shares all the antics and adventures that came across his desk running Discipline at Miami Beach High. A beloved teacher and mentor, Ed has an eye for detail and a skill for conveying both the absurdity and the gravity of what happens in high schools today. Each chapter is a different true event, so it’s easy to pick it up for 10 minutes here and there.

This book is hard to put down.

Each episode of crazy high school behavior is worse than the previous episode. The author’s writing style is excellent and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Enjoy the ride!

Ed Cobin takes you on a trip that will make you laugh, smile, learn and perhaps even cry. Well written in the style of an accomplished author. Ed Cobin’s story bobs and weaves back and forth through 37 years, telling not just his story but a much larger story that I think we all can relate to and more importantly …learn from. A compelling and entertaining read not to be missed!
