Primary School Confidential: Confessions from the Classroom

By Mrs. Woog

Popular columnist and blogger Mrs Woog lifts the lid on a world that's part jungle, part nursery, a place both sweet and feral, where the rule of law is tenuous at best and primitive desires hold sway over order and discipline. And wait till you see the children We're talking about primary school, that special place where little kids turn into big kids, where letters turn into words, numbers turn into more confusing numbers, and lunch boxes turn into bacterial breeding grounds. Where teachers rule (mostly) and parents realize primary school's not just for children--that they're back at school too, just in different roles. Having been a student during the Smurf, Swatch, and Strawberry Shortcake era, and then a teacher in tough-as-nails South London and a back-of-Woop Woop country school, Mrs Woog knew her way around a primary school and thought nothing could surprise or intimidate her--until she became a primary school parent You'll laugh till lemonade comes out of your nose in this irreverent, hilarious, no-holds-barred, and loving homage to primary school and all who dwell in it. Therapy for former teachers, a revelation to prospective parents, a trip down memory lane for us all, Primary School Confidential is a joy to read and essential homework for anyone interested in what really happens beyond the school gate.
