It Shouldn't Happen to a Teacher

The hilarious and barely credible (but very true) reminiscences of a retired deputy headmaster.  Illustrated with 30 cartoons.

Over his years working in state and public schools across Britain, David Franklin kept a diary of events. He has now gone through his diaries to pull out the funniest, most amazing and downright unbelievable incidents from his long career.

Written in a highly engaging style and with a cynical irony born of decades of dealing with children, parents and fellow teachers, David Franklin has produced a book at once hilarious, charming and full of pathos.

Whether he is describing school assemblies, sports days, school trips, exams or routine lessons, Franklin manages to inject a level of affection for his chosen career and for the pupils who blighted it.

This hugely amusing book will bring a smile to the face of anyone who remembers their school days with affection and will make an ideal stocking filler for any parent or grand parent.
