Description du produit

'Ask me my three main priorities for government, and I tell you: Education, education, education.' Those were the bold words of Tony Blair, before he became Prime Minister. A decade on, has he succeeded in making our schools the envy of the world? For FRANK CHALK, there's only one answer. Chalk has spent his adult life in the modern education system, so - unlike the Prime Minister - he knows what he's talking about. He is an ordinary teacher in an ordinary British school... a school where the kids get drunk, beat up the teachers and take drugs - when they can be bothered to turn up. 'IT’S YOUR TIME YOU'RE WASTING' is the blackly humorous diary of a year in his working life. Chalk confiscates porn, booze and trainers, fends off angry parents and worries about the few conscientious pupils he comes across, recording his experiences in a dry and very readable manner. He offers top tips for dealing with unruly children, muses on the shortcomings of the staff (including his own) and even spots the occasional spark of hope amid all the despair. His book will horrify (and amuse) millions of parents and will become a must-read for many of the country‘s 400,000 teachers.
