How Not to Teach: Diary of an Urban Primary Teacher

By Mr. Read and MR Read

If you thought reading Gervaise Phinn was like drinking a warm cup of tea this book will knock you over with the force of a vodka slammer. Mr Read survives the nightmare of planning, Ofsted and an incompetent head ... He also takes the class to Ireland, the House of Commons and wins a film award. We guarantee Christmas Lights, The School Trip and Stressbusters will make you laugh out loud. A searing indictment of our joyless, exam ridden primary curriculum... 'it will take a bareknuckle fight to save its soul.'

Down-to-earth and outrageously funny, this guide will prove essential reading for all teachers everywhere.
