With over 30 years of dealing with children, there are moments that work and many that don’t. This is a collection of stories from the chalkface, that have inspired our passion in education. Some stories are simply for amusement, while others are clearly disturbing. There are stories that highlight what it is we love about teaching and some that reflect the difficulties we have faced. We will continue to collect stories, and if you have one you would like to share with us – please send us an email. stories@education.6bridges.com.au.
