About this listen
Welcome to the reality of what it's really like to be a teacher - the pure, unvarnished truth of what it means to stand in front of a group of thirty kids and try and get them to do some work. It's not the inspirational vision you see in government ads; no, it's breaking up fights between warring East End grandmas, figuring out which student defecated in the sink, and dealing with prepubescent sociopaths intent on annihilating lessons week after week.
In brutal, hilarious and gory detail, teacher-turned-comedian Francis Foster lifts the lid on the indignities and humiliations he experienced as a supply teacher in some of the most atrocious schools around the country. But so much more than a teacher's memoir, Classroom Confidential shines a light on the problems in the UK education system in uncompromising fashion, exposing how the most vulnerable children in society are being failed. And if you're not listening? Well, it's not only your own time you're wasting.©2025 Francis Foster (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
