Everyone around you says, 'youâd make a good teacher'. Thatâs what Iâm here to find out.

George Pointon asks his Year 1 class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while youâre at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler â" can you put it down?

Heâs also got a few questions for himself: What am I doing here? Who was I kidding, thinking I could teach?

Exhausted by his Mumâs pleas for him to âget a real jobâ and carrying a healthy dose of imposter syndrome for good measure, George Pointon finds himself in front of a class of primary school children, charged with trying to get them to learn something.

In Teacher Man, he takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds â" who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate â" there is always much to learn.
