Dave Matthews – författare

I grew up witnessing cruel kids bullying other childrenthat were disabled in some way or another.This story is meant to convey the fact that all people havefeelings and a heart even if they are a little different.

Teaching Dave celebrates the author’s fifty years in education from his first day at infant school to his retirement after thirty-four years as a History teacher. The book describes Dave’s changing experiences from both sides of the teacher’s desk. His teaching philosophy of engagement through humour shines through with a host of funny tales about maverick teachers and students who have shaped his own education – teaching Dave to become `Teaching Dave.’ The book could be described as a memoir, but the true stories resonate with all of us who have been part of the education system.
