Description
Twenty-five years as a teacher have left their mark. In fact, if I'd committed a double murder, I'd have done less time. This is my story - a candid look at the classroom and the system that's struggling to cope. I've seen colleagues pray for minor heart attacks just so they can get six months paid leave and a foot in the door of early retirement. The pressure on young people has never been greater, with alarming rises in mental health issues and self-harming. It's either laugh or cry - and I do both. This diary account is my therapy, offering an inside look at the pressures of teaching that few others can understand. It's a book about good teachers and good schools, where everyone should be able to thrive. But with lack of resources and increasing demands, it's a system on its knees. Class War is a heartfelt portrait of the profession - raw, honest, and sometimes hilarious.
