Kevin candidly presents the highs and lows of a teaching career
spanning four decades, and gives useful advice on how to motivate
children to learn. The book is intended to appeal to practising
professionals, anyone considering teaching as a career and those
with an interest in what goes on behind school doors. Kevin's style
relies heavily on humour, particularly when recalling children's
mischievous natures. The fun element is being systematically
squeezed out of learning and teaching. Fear of failure underpins
the ethos of many of our schools. Children and teachers too often
find themselves operating in a stifling educational culture that
prioritises performance data. Educational success is defined by the
measurable. Child-centred education has become an anachronism. The
case is argued that individual children and their unique talents
and abilities matter. Radical changes to school practices are
advocated if our institutions are to do justice to school
populations of the future.
