This collection of anecdotes and character sketches in free verse was inspired by my own experiences as a teacher in a girls' school in the U.K. It's a collection that's designed primarily to entertain, but also to give the reader pause for thought about whether our education system is really serving the best interests of our children. Another of my aims was to give non-teachers a better insight into what it actually means to be a teacher, so often a misunderstood profession! The book has now been republished under the imprint of Harper Books.
