At school, Rudolf Rössel was not dreaming about better grades. He was imagining three buttons. Press any one of them, and the school would blow up.No school exploded. The boy changed instead.How I Wanted to Blow Up My School - And Then I Became a Teacher is a darkly humorous memoir about curiosity, rebellion and the systems that try to make people fit. From childhood workshops, cinemas and dangerous experiments in Bratislava to an American classroom, university lecture halls and the unpredictable world of consulting, Dr. Rudolf Rössel traces the experiences that shaped the way he thinks, teaches and solves problems.Along the way, a dead bat becomes a business transaction, a computer becomes a mystery to dismantle, authority repeatedly fails its own logic, and the child who resisted school eventually discovers what a teacher should actually be.Part memoir, part philosophy of education and part consultant’s field guide, this is a story about learning to question rules without rejecting responsibility. It explores the hidden connection between a good teacher and a good consultant: both must see the person behind the problem, challenge assumptions and understand a system before attempting to change it.For everyone who was once considered difficult, distracted or impossible to manage-and later discovered that curiosity was not their weakness but their operating system.Take apart. Understand. Reassemble better.
