All Teachers Great And Small

Product Description

Dear Mr Seed I am sorry that are Jack was not at school yesterday. He put on such a groth spurt in the night that nun of his clowthes fitted im next morning so I had to take him to the shops. Mrs R. Twenty-five years ago newly qualified teacher Andy Seed moved to a remote village in the Yorkshire Dales with his wife Barbara anticipating breathtaking views & the gentle simplicity of the countryside. The picturesque scenery did not disappoint. But life as a primary school teacher was anything but simple. With a classroom full of colourful characters whose capacity for misunderstanding was exceeded only by their enthusiasm & their ability to leave him incredulous Andy fell in love with teaching & with village life. ALL TEACHERS GREAT & SMALL tells the true story of Andys first year at Cragthwaite Primary School
- how he bravely negotiated the vagaries of the local dialect made disastrous bids to provide a family home naively & hilariously tried out new-fangled ideas in a school stuck in a 1950s time warp & ultimately discovered a little part of England he was proud to call home. Warm touching & very funny All Teachers Great & Small transports you to a time that may be gone but has never been forgotten.
