School Shit
Kevin candidly presents the highs and lows of a teaching career spanning four decades, and gives useful advice on how to motivate children to learn. The book is intended to appeal to practising professionals, anyone considering teaching as a career and those with an interest in what goes on behind school doors. Kevin's style relies heavily on humour, particularly when recalling children's mischievous natures. The fun element is being systematically squeezed out of learning and teaching. Fear of failure underpins the ethos of many of our schools. Children and teachers too often find themselves operating in a stifling educational culture that prioritises performance data. Educational success is defined by the measurable. Child-centred education has become an anachronism. The case is argued that individual children and their unique talents and abilities matter. Radical changes to school practices are advocated if our institutions are to do justice to school populations of the future.

In an attempt to capture the stares of others, he took more than 30,000 photographs of people staring at him. In this dazzling memoir, Kevin Connolly casts the lens inward to explor...

Why should you bother following the dictum to ‘live within your means’ when you haven’t even considered ‘living with or within your ends’?
