This Is Your Own Time You're Wasting: Classroom Confessions, Calamities and Clangers by Lee Parkinson, Adam Parkinson

5.0

Having listened to and followed ICT with Mr P, and the Two P’s in a podcast, I jumped at the chance when I was invited to read this book on Netgalley. 

 

The side-splittingly hilarious and heart-warming next book from your favourite teacher duo, The Two Mr Ps. Now put that thing down! Yes YOU. It’s time to sit up and listen …From the stars of Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast) and the bestselling authors of Put a Wet Paper Towel On It comes a book filled with chaos, clangers and confessions from the … classrooms. You’ll be taken on a journey where you’ll meet a rogues’ gallery of classroom characters, read some juicy teacher confessions and learn why every primary teacher’s least favourite lesson is the dreaded … SEX EDUCATION! You’ll even get the inside scoop on what it was like (attempting) to teach during a pandemic. So, settle down, grab a cuppa and enjoy this book as we pull back the curtain on the weird and wonderful world of primary schools. 

After all, THIS IS YOUR OWN TIME YOU’RE WASTING. 

 

Read this on a train journey and I was certainly getting ‘the eye’ as I was laughing out loud so much! Working in education, I could relate easily to lots of the different stories too. 

 

A great book, I agree with a fellow reviewer, I really hope there is a book three, and I am already looking forward to it. 

 

Thank you to Netgalley, Harper Collins and the two Mr P’s for an e copy of this book, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
