Its so easy to assume that the day ends when the children go home but the reality is far from that. It's not an easy job, but its good that you enjoy what you do. That in itself is half the battle sometimes.lonestarskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160504585185665463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-8099844453681843852013-11-08T11:02:36.208+00:002013-11-08T11:02:36.208+00:00Thank goodness someone is putting the reality out ...Thank goodness someone is putting the reality out there.

It's a shame, but glad to hear that it's not the same everywhere, and brilliant that you're also encouraging others too take up the career as I think it must be one of the most rewarding out there (I bawled my eyes out watching the final 'Educating Yorkshire' episode too!) xLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474638740952798868noreply@blogger.com
