Teacher Man - Diaries of Life Inside a Primary School

I asked my Year 1 class, -What-s the best thing that-s ever happened to you?-George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you-re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler - can you put it down?He-s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach?But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there-s no backing out now.In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds - who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate - there is always lots to be learned.
