Frank Chalk is an ordinary teacher in an ordinary British school - a school where the kids take drugs, beat up the teachers and have sex in classrooms. It's Your Time You're Wasting is Frank Chalk's bleak but blackly humorous diary of a year in the modern education system. He fights apathy, battles the tearaways and worries about the few conscientious pupils, all the while recording his experiences in a dry and very readable manner. It will horrify (and amuse) millions of parents and is a must-read for many of the country's 400,000 teachers.
