[Author], [Publisher]. Author: Mehreen Baig Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 272 'Beautifully written, Hidden Lessons is both a heart-rending account of the challenges in our education system, and a heart-warming celebration of teachers and students who have triumphed through adversity. The pride Mehreen has for her community and the lives she has touched is palpable.' - DAVID LAMMY You're in at 7am, there until 7pm and marking into the late hours. You've got one student who's a full time carer, another who's pregnant, and a third who's just joined a gang. You haven't got enough textbooks to go around, and one of the parents just called you an 'extremist'. You've just gone through a devastating heartbreak and you have to teach Romeo and Juliet to 30 hormonal 14 year olds. Welcome to life as a teacher. This is a world that all of us know, but most of us have completely forgotten. It's a world where you're working 50 hour weeks, but you're still just a part-time teacher because the rest of the time you're a security guard, a nurse, a counsellor, or a friend. It's also a world where you spend all day with some of the most interesting people you know. And even when the lesson plan has been abandoned, you're still learning. Mehreen started teaching at 21, and by the time she left 10 years later she'd learnt a bit about teenagers and a lot about life. This is her story. Baig's book reminds us that teachers are not just at the frontline of education, but they are also at the frontline of social mobility and racial justice. In a narrative that has you in tears at times, and at other times has you punching the air in triumph, Baig reveals the disastrous consequences of this nation not valuing teachers enough. A wake-call. - Sathnam Sanghera Mehreen writes with energy and enthusiasm about the highs and lows she experienced in her five years of teaching in an inner London high school. In Hidden Lessons Mehreen's passion and dedication for teaching some of the most underprivileged youth of today is palpable. - Jeremy Corbyn Full of insight, wit, wisdom and warmth. A fascinating guide to what teaching is really like. - Katy Brand This book is hilarious, frank and so much fun. Makes me feel very guilty about all my teachers though. - Grace Campbell Deep, dark, hilarious and full of heart. - Greg Rutherford Hilarious, heart-warming and utterly compelling, Hidden Lessons lets us in on the joy and heartache that all teachers know. - Carlisle Living.…
