Part of the series Staffroom Confidential

A group of teachers tell it like it is in this funny and touching selection of anecdotes about life in a school.

There's a candid assessment of how difficult it can be to get children interested in lessons, some vivid accounts of the problems encountered on the dreaded school trip, and a potted guide to educational acronyms.

Teachers talk about the joys of marking, the terror prompted by OFSTED inspections, and the best way to deal with the mountains of paperwork they generate.

Many of the laughs in this programme have a gritty underpinning based on real life in the classroom to which teachers will relate.
