Many, many things, but mostly tired. History teacher.
3. Clacton. So much to say.
Please do think of us when you have a minute.
BTW, the soft play thing - the rollers? Yup. The fear when you think you'll be trapped and the feral toddlers will ....

Sarah, you are SO busy, and certainly fighting the good fight in Clacton. Please do give a thought to us in Aylesbury when you have a moment. I can promise you a captive audience, some biscuits, and a lanyard. Though you'll need to give that back.

We don't use textbooks as we did. Trust History teachers to hold the line - we always have.

Looking at that building, you'd probably write a hugely successful YA novel, which gets turned into a Netflix series only to be cancelled as things really get going.

I can't speak for all History teachers, but we see you Sarah. You are not alone - the reason I still do what I do in the school you went to is because of students like you! And we know that it doesn't always translate into standard lesson enthusiasts - some students live in books, and that's ok!
