How do we buy the time?

November 19, 2017 MrGPrimaryLeave a comment

Like many teachers up and down the land, I sometimes struggle to balance the needs of my class, my school and my own family. Sometimes it feels like real life is getting in the way of my career (maybe) choice and something has to give. Also like many teachers, I seem to spend a large… Continue reading How do we buy the time?

“Love, love is a verb, Love is a doing word” Massive Attack – Teardrop I read lots of stuff on Twitter about teaching; I even read people’s bio pages when they follow me and I read lots of lines about passion.  Passion about children, passion about pedagogy, passion about learning.  What I don’t see is… Continue reading The things we do for love…
