In recent times a key measure for judging a school and the teachers has been based on test and examination results. Although the results achieved are critical to a student's progression into either further academic study or employment, many would identify specific teachers who helped them to develop problem solving skills, resilience and an adventurous spirit with the strength of character to challenge conformity.
This book is one teacher's account of working with young people over many years and the pride he had as they grew in confidence to meet life's challenges.
