Overview

Shortly before Mike Kent retired after thirty years as a London headteacher, the visiting educational psychologist attached to his school sat chuckling helplessly over a coffee as Mike related tales of school life. ‘You know, people would never believe what your job involves,’ he said. ‘You should keep a diary for a year and turn it into a book.’ Mike thought that was a great idea… and here it is. Read about Emma who wasn’t, the invisible plumbers, Eddie the Terror, the Vicar’s Rolo, Samesh’s spectacles, the shoe in the fence, Joseph and the eels, the lift that wouldn’t, staffroom secrets, serious pigeons, the diplodocus, persistent salesmen, the mums up for a scrap, and a host of other jaw-dropping tales… all in the line of duty!
