Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eagerly - awaited offering will delight Hellawell's growing fan base: 'Research repeatedly shows the difficulty of staying sane in insane places. David Hellawell is the shining exception as, once again, he highlights the bizarre politics and practices of our allegedly rational education system. Read him and stay sane too!' John Eggleston, Professor of Education, University of Warwick 'David Hellawell's writing is for those who really take education seriously. Without his wit, insights, sense and sensibility, we might be led into an uncritical void of educational dogma - of our own and others' making! He illuminates the work of headteachers and schools to bring fresh zest to our thinking.' Peter Williman, Headteacher, Meadows First School, Bromsgrove
