The Hapless Teachers Handbook
By Phil Ball
0 - Default Title
Description
This is the comic story of one man's painfully slow metamorphosis into a teacher at an everyday comprehensive and his encounters with other remarkable teachers and pupils along the way. The good the bad the violent the victimised and the clinically insane: from his first teaching practice nemesis Alan Plant who knows his dark secret to the pupil who believes he is a reincarnation of the poet Andrew Marvell. It is a tale of the highs and lows of attempting to teach: from the joy of really making a difference to young minds to being physically set upon by a teenage horde.
And that's just what happens in the classroom. Beyond it is the real world of teachers behind staff-room doors: desperate lives unseemly professional competition a diet of cigarettes alcohol and cold coffee casual sex and general social dysfunction. Not a great example but the truth...
