This audiobook is like sitting down with your dad or granddad and listening to him recounting memories, I loved it! I could listen to more.

It was very interesting to hear about the differences of teaching 20-30 years ago compared to today. But also hearing how similar kids are still.

Although I left the UK school system around 40 years ago, this book transported me back there straight away, and many of the situations this teacher found himself in will be familiar to all of us, albeit on the pupil side of the argument. Situations included violence, the bible and fingering, so it makes for a very entertaining listen. Thoroughly recommend.
