It's a Teacher's Life!

Více o knize

No doubt you remember your life at school as a pupil - the long lessons, stringent rules and chaotic classrooms - but what was it like from the teacher's perspective? Did they savour the experience of setting and marking our homework? Did they get a kick out of writing our reports? And, most intriguingly, what did they get up to in the staffroom? If you've never been there yourself, you need to follow Helena Harper into this alternative school world of coffee addiction, frantic marking, lesson-planning and inspections. She answers all of your questions and more, and her insightful, evocative and often sardonic descriptions leave you more appreciative of the trials and tribulations (and the occasional pleasures) of being the dragon in front of the whiteboard. It's a Teacher's Life. . . ! will open the eyes of the pupils who always thought that teachers didn't exist outside of school hours. . . On the other hand, with such a long roll-call of meetings, assessments and after-hours activities, perhaps they were right all along!
