At 15, I did two weeks work experience as a classroom assistant at my primary school.
On the Saturday of my first week, there was a jumble sale taking place in the school assembly hall and the Year 3 teacher I was working alongside was quizzing pupils one morning on whether or not they'd be attending. She asked those that wouldn't be to raise their hands and demanded an explanation from each as to why.
Fahima claimed she had an appointment at the dentist that day, Jack claimed to be at a family function, and Jessica explained that she wouldn't be in attendance because "my dad can't drive for six months.
I could write a book on some of the things I heard in this two week period. It was brilliant from start to finish.
