Reviews
In part it's the thoughtful autobiographical reflections of a wise and successful teacher. At another level it's a rather challenging how-to manual for less experienced teachers and for parents...Every jargon-free word that he writes rolls pleasurably round the mouth like good brandy. The prose is marked by a rare and incisive blend of informality and precision * INDEPENDENT *
A true, wise, morale-boosting manifesto * Peter Conrad, OBSERVER *
He should be compulsory reading not only for aspiring teachers but also for complacent education ministers who keep on interfering in a job that's exhausting enough already. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
An inspiring account. * TES *
Sane and fascinating ... a passionate love letter to the only profession in which "you can try your hand at so many things" * Craig Brown, MAIL ON SUNDAY *
An entertaining book about teaching, by a teacher * Wenday Cope, Books of the Year, DAILY TELEGRAPH *
Thoughtful autobiographical reflections of a wise and successful teacher ... a challenging how-to manual for less experienced teachers and for parents * INDEPENDENT *
