Description

"This book is designed to fill an obvious void in the reading and training material currently available for young teachers. There is a need to provide an amusing, yet practical alternative to some of the stodgy, uninspiring and theoretical books already out there.

Teaching is often viewed as a deadly serious issue. I hope this book will help those sober minded educationalists to loose up a bit and employ that sense of humour so desperately needed to survive the job."
(Brian Carline)

Reviews

'I pondered over many possible titles for this book. Contenders such as 'do we copy thos down sir' 'How long to half term' or 'Has the bell gone yet' were all possibilities since they are probably the most frequently asked questions you will hear in your teaching career. I settled on the SAS Guide to Teaching because teaching is often perceived by the publlic ad being one of the hardest jjobs of all. I recently employed a plumber, who on discovering I was a teacher, instantly confirmed that for him to face a class of thirty kids he'd have to be armed with CS canisters, several stun grenades and some very beefy mates. He's got enough on his plate with his two at home than you very much. Mind you, I don't think I could install a central heating system. Each to their own.' Brian Carline from the Introduction
