What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down?He’s also got a few questions for himself: What am I doing here? Who was I kidding, thinking I could teach?Exhausted by his Mum’s pleas for him to ‘get a real job’ and carrying a healthy dose of imposter syndrome for good measure, George Pointon finds himself in front of a class of primary school children, charged with trying to get them to learn something.In Teacher Man, he takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching.
