Hands Up!: A Year in the Life of an Inner City School Teacher by Oenone Crossley-Holland

slow-paced

2.0

If you like books steeped in classism, with a self centred, whiny and unempathetic narrator, then this is the book for you! 
Do yourself a favour and give it a miss, it's a dull and nauseating read. I feel bad for her students and hope they are doing better now.
