This is a warts and all expose of one teacher's experience. As the title indicates, it contains the good, the bad and the ugly. Written by someone who loves their job but is not scared to tell it like it really is. It will take the reader through the joys, frustrations, heartaches and grievances and will delight and shock in equal measure. It will take the reader on a journey from happiness and fulfilment to resentment and hostility and back again and will touch the hearts of anyone who reads it.

Simon Mackintosh has been a teacher for 37 years. He has worked in a tough urban school, a small, rural town, a private school and a girls' grammar school. He has been a Head of Department, Head of Years' 10 and 11 and a member of leadership. This is his story.
