Review

‘An intelligent, funny and informative exploration of education
that examines, in a realistic and helpful way, many aspects of our
diverse services. Full of tips, [and] a jargon buster for new and not so
new staff…This book offers light relief to a stressed mind and body.
It can be read for knowledge or entertainment…As an easy read
reference of common issues that provides the essence of an answer, or is
the literary version of a critical friend when things get tough, this
is more than helpful.’ ~ Len Parkyn, The Teacher, July/August 2006 (Len Parkyn)
