Description
Author, teacher and journalist Kate Clanchy’s Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me is the most important, funny and candid memoir that offers a stunning insight into life inside British state schools.
Regarded by His Dark Materials creator Philip Pullman as ‘the most efficient book on teachers and children and writing that I have ever read’, the book finds Kate having a look back over the last three decades working in schools and celebrating the creativity, passion and practical nous of teachers.
She recalls sex education classes with a group of 13-year-olds; working in a school’s ‘inclusion unit’ to take a look at and strengthen the fortunes of children who preferred not to be informed; and nurturing a multi-cultural poetry group full of migrants and refugees.
