Put A Wet Paper Towel on It: The Weird and Wonderful World of Primary Schools

Product Information

The overwhelming impression of the book, aside from all the hilarious tales of competitive parents at school sports days and fidget spinners, is of just how much hard graft is involved in teaching, and how much of it is unnecessary paperwork instead of lesson planning. The myth of short working days and long holidays is exactly that, a myth. The book's final chapter, Everything That's Wrong With Education (In The UK), is a long and impassioned polemic about the pressures placed on teachers which hamstring them in their attempt to do their job to the best of their ability. He also sets out a manifesto to ensure that their pupils get the highest quality education possible.

Mam! We didn’t need to phone you because Miss Frugal got me a wet paper towel – you couldn’t have done anything else, could you? You probably won’t be able to peel all of the outside husk at once, but get as much as you can. Don’t worry, in the next few steps you’ll have opportunity for the husk to soften up and peel more away. It’s not unusual for me to leave them at home these days when I’m just popping out and at 11 and 13, they’re more than capable of taking care of themselves for short periods. We have lots of rules that they have to follow but I’m not going to go into them today as that’s a whole other post – all you need to know for today is that our big rule is that we stay in touch when they’re on their own.

If you live in a climate that is fairly temperate year-round (50+ degrees F)(zones 9+), you can grow your avocado outdoors without worrying about the colder seasons. On cooler nights, cover it with a tree protection covering. Fertilize it once per season after the first year of growth with a balanced fertilizer. In the first year, the compost should provide what is needed. This video was then duetted by another pair of TikTokers who also confirmed that this works… but really, I can’t trust this as anything other than a placebo effect until I try it myself. For those that know me, I have a proclivity to crying whilst cutting onions – for those that don’t, I thought it would be scientifically important to demonstrate this fact first and foremost:

If you use the microwave with the folded system, your microwave may catch fire to use. It would also help to keep in mind that the paper towel has a long-time expiry date. FAQs [Frequently Ask Questions] Q: Can Paper Towels Set On Fire In The Microwave? When your paper towel comes in wet condition, you can use high temperatures without facing any fire problems. Can You Microwave Paper Towels? I got myself a copy of Put A Wet Paper Towel On It after being recommended the podcast by the same blokes. I’m not a podcast listener as I fail to concentrate on it whilst I’m working so I figured the book would be the next best thing. And you know what, I loved it.The book is written by two brothers, Lee, & Adam Parkinson, one a teacher and the other a teaching assistant. I had thought the whole book would be about just their day-to-day school life as teachers, but they also reminisce about their own school days too. The different chapters cover everything from school plays, to the different types of teachers and how they react differently to the job and all it entails. Such as a Newly Qualified Teacher Vs a More Experienced Teacher. I loved the “alternative” school plays! I bet the pupils loved taking part! It’s a shame other schools don’t adopt this type of play/concert. I don’t know which one I would have most loved to see! I can see how using something modern and more relatable to the pupils will have them enjoying themselves that much they won’t realise they are learning and using certain “school skills”. Master Frugal’s situation looked more serious that his sisters so I took that one while whatever it was that his sister was up to was investigated by Mr Frugal. It turns out that the sore eye was a result of tripping up in his bedroom and landing face first on the bed frame and the wet paper towel was because that’s what the school dinner ladies do whenever anyone hurts themselves. I told him that he should have phoned us immediately so we could have come home straight away and his answer was this: Having said that, at some points, I did feel the humour of the book felt a little forced and did slightly irritate me, because it felt unnecessary to me. The little anecdotes and little stories about the varying characters in the staffroom, and things the children say, are HILARIOUS amd propel the book into pure enjoyment!
