Article: [SENco-forum] It's Your Time You're Wasting - Frank Chalk

That is a shame as coming to teaching from the outside world can confer some
real benefits.  I had an excellent teacher once who was first in the police
force.  Showed no fear of authority - Head or LEA's.

Not sure of the impact of one who had spent 10 years in a nightclub though!

Well Frank chalk and Copperfield both had separate blogs for
a long time before collating them into the volumes you
mention.

See:

Not very 'inclusive' I'm afraid.

and:

http://coppersblog.blogspot.com/

I think they are both genuine.
