Description

This book compiles her best work from the Times Educational Supplement, offering a wide-ranging look at the world of teaching and learning. The essays cover a broad spectrum of topics, including national policy, the eccentricities of headteachers, and the limitations of IT in the classroom. Whether her tone is thoughtful or mocking, Purves provides provocative ideas that challenge standard views on the educational system.
