Teach Your Children Well: stories, confessions and musings from the world of teaching

A teacher, at the end of a Science lesson on wind farms, asks the question, ‘So, what do we think about wind farms now?’ A quick-witted pupil replies immediately, ‘I’m a big fan!’

Often amusing and occasionally candid or controversial, Teach Your Children Well takes the reader on a refreshingly honest journey through the world of contemporary education.

‘Teach Your Children Well’ has been written from the perspective of a teacher who has spent almost a quarter of a century teaching English in secondary schools. Featuring anecdotes, confessionals and musings from the author and many of his contemporaries, this book loosely follows the chronology of the British academic calendar. From recollections on what it is like to be new to the profession, through to dealing with challenging behaviour, parents, school trips, and the cynicism of not-so-old-timers, this book offers a fresh look at what it's really like to work with young people in the modern British education system.
