Since I’ve been talking about the need for a sense of humour as a teacher, it seems appropriate to mention a few books and a couple of blogs…
The first book is Frank Chalk’s ‘It’s Your Time You’re Wasting’. It’s a top book to dip in and out of and is frequently pant-wettingly funny. His accompanying blog is a good read too, taking a fairly dry look at what’s going on in education and the news in general.
I should also add to this The Ranting Teacher and the blog of the same name.
The other two books are written by a friend of mine, Jon Barbuti. Firstly there’s ‘The Inside Guide to Teacher Training’ and he wrote it in a series of online diaries while we both learnt to teach. He’s a very funny chap and his writing drew comparisons with Bill Bryson – nice one mate.
And he has also written ‘Learning to Teach with a Hangover’ - I’ve no idea what this book is like, but it sounds good…
