They listy various types of personalities that you can find amongst teachers, students and also parents. I think the style is more suited to the Podcasts they keep mentioning, or an audio book, but not to written prose.

They’re right that the school do use paper towels for all sorts of injuries – there’s been many a time over the years that one of the kids has come out of school at the end of the day holding a wet paper towel over a random injury that they’ve acquired that day.

I will admit I gave up on this book as it was not like I thought it would be and could have done with some severe editing or decisions on what it actually wanted to be.
