While we're looking at picture books, I really like the teacher in
"Today Was a Terrible Day" by Patricia Reilly Giff. I found the teacher in that one even more sympathetic towards an unhappy student than the teacher in "Lily's Purple Plastic Purse."

Just my $0.02 :)

I always read Horray for Diffendoofer Day (by Dr. Seuss with some help from Jack Prelutsky and Lane Smith) at the start of our first day of school. We don't have to give the state tests (although we do give standardized tests in the spring), but there is much about Diffendoofer School that makes the kids think of their own school and teachers. They also get a tremendous kick out of finding the original Seuss drawings and are also fascinated by Janet Shulman's story at the back with the original sketches.
