The Best Days of Your Life

Front Cover
Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd, 2004 - 224 pages
All of life in the world of education, from the nursery to the university, is represented in this vivid and entertaining anthology. Teachers who inspire rub shoulders with those who strike terror, the idealistic with the world-weary. The best and the worst of pupils mingle together, the responsive and the quietly (or noisily) destructive. Drawn from the litery and the factual record, this collection from British, Irish and American writers reflects a broad range of universal experience
