Book Description

Cheating, lying, cutting class... and that's just the staff!!
Why are teachers leaving the profession, skipping work with stress and dying less than a year after retirement?

Rachel is one of the high school's best teachers. She gets on well with everyone. The kids like her. The staff like her less, but only because the kids like her and not them.

But annoying managers, obnoxious students, needlessly excessive paperwork, useless training sessions and catastrophic amounts of marking have Rachel wondering if she should just quit and pursue her dreams of becoming a writer.

Meet fresh-faced and eager journalist Joy Attwood. She's about to spend the day with Rachel to discover what being a high school teacher is really like. No frills, no red carpet, no gimmicks - just straight into the S&#T!

Rachel will reveal all her underhand tricks of the trade - from managing unruly behaviour, to cutting corners when marking work - for the sake of the book you're about to read. Joy has picked one of the worst days to follow this pi$$ed off high school teacher.

Can Joy survive the day without wanting to kill someone, or will Rachel beat her to it?
