The Dark Arts

I have been a Dark Arts Practitioner for 4 years.

Recently we had an OFSTED inspection at the school where I work and it was the lead Inspector who termed Early Years as the 'Dark Arts'.  He also described the children as like 'Velcro' in that they cling to you, which they do.  They also head butt you regularly in the groin which is a downside of the job.

This blog is replacing a blog that I have kept for the last few years.  That was a by invite only blog and basically I was the only person writing on it but this week I was informed that it was closing - not by me, I lack the clout.  Any how in the other blog I was very honest.  Mainly because no one was reading it!

We'll see about this one.

Being an Early Years teacher is the best!  The children are at their most exciting and excited.  But unfortunately there is a lot of crap associated with the job such as observations.

I'll try to be honest.

Oh but I claim Story Tellers license to lie when I need to.
