This Is Your Own Time You’re Wasting: Classroom Confessions

And as with the first book, the two Mr Ps continue with their firm critique of the education system. Loved it and hope that there will be a follow up in a few years detailing the changes covid has made. My thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My housemate is an early years teacher and it's been a delight getting some more insight into her world.

I also like the fact that the two Mr Ps don't work in leafy suburbs as evidenced by some of the language and the standout tale about the tattoo. If you haven't read the first book :"Put a Wet Paper Towel on it" or heard of the two Mr Ps, you need to fix this immediately! I found the book largely unreadable for a few reasons: firstly, it is poorly formatted on kindle, so the different fonts used to indicate the respective author of a section doesn’t display.

But do not be fooled - among the jokes and the light hearted stories about the unbelievable amount of mess children make there are hard truths contained within the tale. signal by a school trip’s steam train driver, before the kids were anywhere near on board, would get about a B for lack of editing. Primary schools are a mine of hilarity, from the antics of the children to the embarrassment of the staff.But one issue I had was the book's general style; if, like their first book this was generated via their podcast, it's a shame that it reads like a transcription of said podcast. This is a great follow up from Put A Wet Paper Towel On It and is relatable for anyone who works/has worked in a school. I feel I am slightly biased as after reading the first book (also via NetGalley - thank you), I have been an avid listener of the podcast, despite not being a parent or anything to do with the teaching profession. Join in on the classroom antics as they share the unexpected pitfalls of online teaching, all the reasons you need a strong stomach to take on Early Years and why not every household item makes a suitable Harry Potter wand .

This Is Your Own Time You’re Wasting | Lee Parkinson; Adam

The majority of the books was either nothing to do with teaching (instead rambling anecdotes about the authors’ families and friends) or written by other teachers and quoted to pad out the pages - there was very little substance here, I found. I have nothing but admiration for the profession and can't believe they are not universally admired.This is your own time you’re wasting’ is an amusing tale written about teaching, published by two brothers, both of which are primary school teachers. During the Pandemic I was lucky to be at home with my son who has ADHD, helping him throughout the session. Admittingly, I did enjoy the first book more; however, this read still comes highly recommended for some light-hearted reading, which is not to be taken too seriously. I also loved your unique take and opinions on life and wholeheartedly agreed with your stances throughout.
