Watching children learn is a beautiful and extraordinary experience…. It is a kind of magic, a kind of loving, a kind of art. It is teaching. Just teaching. Just what I do. What I did. Past tense.In 2014, Gabrielle Stroud was a very dedicated teacher with over a decade of experience. Months later, she resigned in frustration and despair when she realised that the Naplan-test education model was stopping her from doing the very thing she was best at: teaching individual children according to their needs and talents. Her ground-breaking essay 'Teaching Australia' in the Feb 2016 Griffith Review outlined her experiences and provoked a huge response from former and current teachers around the world. That essay lifted the lid on a scandal that is yet to properly break - that our education system is unfair to our children and destroying their teachers. In a powerful memoir inspired by her original ground-breaking essay, Gabrielle tells the full story: how she came to teaching, what makes a great teacher, what our kids need from their teachers, and what it was that finally broke her. A brilliant and heart-breaking memoir that cuts to the heart of a vital matter of national importance.©2018 Gabbie Stroud (P)2018 W. F. Howes Ltd Educators Professionals & Academics

the absolute truth about teaching

Hilariously accurate memoirs of what teaching is really like. The writers of Waterloo road would be dumbfounded if they knew half of what real teachers actually deal with on a daily basis.

The job is life consuming and this book truly depicts that in all of its horrible, bare-faced ugliness!

I loved the complete honesty and bravery that Gabbie Stroud showed in retelling some of the ugly aspects of the job.

Utterly relatable.
