Teaching Uncut: Tales They Don’t Tell

You will never read a more honest and open book revealing what it is really like to be a teacher. Mr McKintosh’s story will incite laughter and tears and at times, will shock the reader to their very core.

This is a warts and all expose of one teacher’s experience. As the title indicates, it contains the good, the bad and the ugly. Written by someone who loves their job but is not scared to tell it like it really is. It will take the reader through the joys, frustrations, heartaches and grievances and will delight and shock in equal measure. It will take the reader on a journey from happiness and fulfilment to resentment and hostility and back again and will touch the hearts of anyone who reads it.
