Bernadette was just ten years old when her father packed her off to
a convent school in Dublin. Seven gruelling years later, she
returned home to Liverpool at the start of the swinging sixties.
Bernadette had dreamed of being a teacher ever since she was a
little girl, so she promptly began a course at teacher training
college, determined to give children the sort of education she
wished she'd had. Bernadette got her first job at 21, teaching five
to seven year olds in a school in one of Liverpool's toughest slum
areas. The poverty and deprivation she saw at the school shocked
her to the core. Children would frequently turn up shoeless and
starving, but gradually Bernadette could see she was making a real
difference in their lives, and found that teaching changed her own
life in ways she hadn't expected. Rich in period detail, "Please,
Miss" is an uplifting and moving book that opens a window onto the
colorful and fascinating world of 1960s Liverpool.
