On front cover: Foreword by John Marsden; 'A marvellous book.' -- Phillip Adams.
"Who's there for children when they're bullied in the playground? Who encourages them through final-year exams, or cheers them on at sports days? Teachers help lay the foundations for our lives, but their responsibilities have multiplied at the same time as their status has dropped. Tales from the Blackboard is a collection of true stories by Australian teachers. Their experiences provide a unique insight - from teaching children from disastrous home situations; coping when wildlife causes chaos in an outback classrooms; to the frustrations created by bureaucracy. The terror, humiliation, laugher and rewards of life in Australian schools are captured in living colour in these narratives." -- Back cover.
"Published in association with the Australian Education Union and the Independent Education Union of Australia, Tales from the Blackboard is unforgettable reading not only for parents, students and teachers, but anyone who cares about the future of education in Australia." -- Back cover.
"Amanda Tattam has captured the soul of our profession by bringing together teachers' stories that we can all relate to. Tears, laughter, empathy and the occasional cringe; it's here and provides a must read for every one of us." -- Sharan Burrow, Federal President, Australian Education Union." -- Back cover.
