Please spare a thought for the poor teachers who have to work with outdated textbooks and so forth, because so much money (in my school at least) has been spent on computers and swanky cyber-cafes.
Don't misunderstand me, I love my pc and find them a valuable tool in the classroom, but they will never replace books.

I have been incredibly self-indulgent this term. I am reading 'The Hobbit' with a Year 7 class and 'The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents' by Terry Pratchett, with a Year 8 group. They are enjoying both books and I often have to shut my classroom door in case their laughter disturbs other classes

Oh, just noticed the title of this thread...I live in the North-East of England.
