WHY ARE TEACHERS LEAVING THE PROFESSION? •Lack of support •Class sizes •They are worked to the bone •Low salaries •Their time isn’t respected •Better opportunities elsewhere •Inadequate preparation for new teachers •Little to no student/parent accountability DO BETTER!
@TheBookerPrizes Can’t put it down!
Of course.
So excited to reveal that my next novel, GAME ZERO, will be published by @NosyCrow in Spring 2025. Read all about in @thebookseller here: thebookseller.com/rights/nosy-cr…
Line that most amuses me in An Inspector Calls: when Gerald returns to the house and the family wonder who it might be, someone says Gerald and Birling says: ‘Oh, I’d forgotten about him.’ The whole evening is a party in his and Sheila’s honour. How vapid can one man be 🙄
Did anyone else grow up being told: “Make sure you have nice knickers on, in case you’re hit by a bus” I cannot be the only girl told this? Is this just some weird thing I was told… or is it a regional/time period/contextual thing?? Anyone else heard this before?
