  • The performance of teaching gone wrong, plus trying to balance pet and family life in the background
  • Burning out and leaving the teaching profession, including the responses of colleagues, and the guilt
  • An almost unbelievable tale of a primary school trip to the sewage treatment plant – coordinated by a teacher who truly must have drawn the short straw
