Author Description

This personal account of education in the first seven decades of the 20th century was told by a 'retired' teacher and is in his own words. His education extended from small schools in a Yorkshire village to university. He taught in a wide variety of schools and came across a range of teaching styles and methods of keeping discipline. He describes how the changes in education over 70 years affected children. Later in his career he spent time in France, researching for a PhD before returning to teaching.
