Author Description

Using a lifetime of knowledge and experience of our education system, Mike Kent looks closely at why it so often falls short, failing both teachers and children. With much humour and a wealth of experience and insight he looks back at the last fifty years of schooling, critically examining the changes, the questionable theories, the inability of most education ministers to do anything worthwhile, and the huge cost of failed initiatives. He also suggests how things can be made better. 'Please Sir, Skool Isn't Werking' is a book which will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in education and a lively sense of humour!
