I have an embarrassing secret, I absolutely love 'reality TV' books, you know the ones, following the life of people doing everyday jobs. They are often trashy and written by cynics disenchanted with their careers but they are the perfect book when you don't want a long detailed plot, just something to read. Monday Books seems to be the preferred publisher of this genre, and I have read most of their books in one form or another.

This book was about a guy who handed his notice in at a perfectly good school and job to go off in a camper van as a substitute teacher. He covers all different areas of the UK. He signs on with an agency and actually asks to work in the problem schools.
The book covers the funny, the sad, the scary and stupid in our schools....and then it covers stories about the kids too and how they interact with substitute teachers.
It was okay though I think I spoiled it somewhat for myself by readi More...

Readable, but nothing particularly new to say.
