Ever wondered what it's like to be a supply teacher? This is the book for you! Artist and illustrator Guy Newmountain, a time-served teacher at the chalk-face for 25 years and a familiar sight to thousands of pupils across the spectrum from nursery to sixth form, tells a succession of school-related anecdotes with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour. Some are hysterically funny and a few sad; others heart-stopping and deadly serious... Guy even bares his soul regarding personal heartbreak and professional mistakes that others can learn from. An evocative snapshot of real life, every word, even the title - spoken by a tiny infant - is true. A powerful insight into how varied an experience supply teaching can be, the book covers both pros and cons of the vocation, as the author relates a host of unpredictable situations encountered - good and bad - offering a tantalising, honest and refreshing window onto a largely hidden world...
Autorenporträt
Guy Newmountain, a unique eccentric who defies categorisation, is a practising artist/illustrator, retired animator and occasional DJ. Most notably, however, he is a former teacher who worked in 130 different schools across the entire age-range; with a breadth of experience rare in the profession. Creator of children's fairytale The Man with the Eye at the End of His Finger, a short film meticulously hand-coloured pixel-by-pixel over a 27-year period and winner of multiple international awards, he is a guilty cola drinker with a fascination for contemporary fonts, TV title sequences, pioneering music videos and retro sci-fi. Parent to a wilfully muleheaded and mischievous black Labrador, he swims a mile each weekday, but never fails to visit the chip shop on a Friday night. Guy's previous book, ""Please I Can to the Toilet Go?"" (The Memoirs of a Supply Teacher), was published by Austin Macauley in March 2023.
