Publisher's Synopsis
The author of Potent poems for Pole-Axed Pedagogues, has done it again. From the gloom and despond of media reportage he was woven a bright tapestry of characters cavorting in conceit and hypocrisy. All the old favourites are here: teachers on the beach, end of term parties, fractious children, the sad discredited politicians of the past and the saga of Maastricht. And who else but Mike Kivi could bring Coronation Street into the great debate on English teaching? Illuminatingly illustrated once more by Bill Stott, this attractive collection is the gift for every teacher.
