How does teaching affect your children?
As a 21-year-old with my days in school well and truly behind me, it is interesting to think about how my journey with education was influenced by my parents’ occupations.
I didn’t ponder on it much at the time. However, after some reflection, it is clear that my parents brought traces and trails of their schools back home each evening. I also realised my father’s favourite phrase, “is that quite clear”, frequented his classrooms just as much as it did at home. Hearing that question always managed to put a smile on my face during a French lesson!
