A Teacher's Life with RYAN WILSON!

RYAN WILSON spent a decade teaching English after attending university and then completed a post-graduate teaching qualification. He taught in schools in Essex and London and made it to assistant headteacher. He then studied for a master's in Broadcast Journalism. He worked on Good Morning Britain and ITV News and spent the night in a leisure center in Wakefield for ITV on election night in 2017. One of his more bizarre experiences was working undercover for Deliveroo, wearing a hidden camera, to investigate how they treat their workers! LET THAT BE A LESSON 'A frank, funny and long overdue ode to teachers and teaching' Adam Kay:The malodorous horrors of Sports Day.Bracing yourself for Parents' Evening.Refereeing teenage relationship dramas.This is not what you see in the adverts.From the age of eight, Ryan Wilson dreamt of being a teacher. This is the inside story of his time at the chalkface, from fresh-faced trainee with grand ideals to exhausted assistant head battling ever-changing government demands. It is a tribute to the colleagues who befriended him and to the chaotic, brilliant, maddening students who inspired and enraged him. From Sean, the wannabe gangster with a soft heart, to David, the king of innuendo, and terrifyingly clever Amelia. And, above all, it's about the lessons they taught him: how to be patient and resilient, how to live authentically and how to value every day.'Hilarious, inspiring and so terrifyingly true' Lucy Kellaway'A delightfully frank and funny book -- with a very serious message' Jacqueline Wilson'Not just funny and constantly surprising -- but touching, poignant and personal too' Jeremy VineFOLLOW THE SHOW!► Our website - https://www.thewritingcommunitychatshow.com► Universal link - https://linktr.ee/TheWCCS► Use hashtag #TheWritingCommunityChatShow or #TheWCCS on social media to keep us current.
