If the kids don't get you, the parents will.
And if it's not the parents, it'll be the workload. Or the management. Or OFSTED. Or the pay. Or the hours. Or one of a million reasons teachers leave the job every year. Freddy Quinne, a stand-up comedian turned teacher, thought he'd found a new career in the classroom-until his students found his comedy clips online. This book lifts the lid on what it's like to work in a school, with brutal honesty and sharp humour. From chaotic parent evenings and staffroom gossip to the moments that break you - and the ones that keep you going. Do teachers really treat every student equally?

This book lifts the lid on what it's like to work in a school, with brutal honesty and sharp humour. From chaotic parent evenings and staffroom gossip to the moments that break you - and the ones that keep you going. Do teachers really treat every student equally?
Do parents help or hinder?
And what actually happens on INSET days? Whether you're a teacher, a parent, or just wondering why anyone would choose this madness, this is what the job's really like. If you've got a sick and twisted sense of humour there isn't a better comic on the planet - Rolling Stone No comedy club with a modicum of decency should ever book this man - Out News Global
