About
I’m 41 years old (I really am. I just look, and sometimes feel, 61), I have three young children – all daughters, and live in the sprawling suburbs of South West London. I’ve recently been made redundant from my job as an IT manager in a big international bank, and have decided to pursue my longed for ambition of becoming a primary school teacher by taking a one year PGCE course. This blog is intended as a side-ways look at this abrupt change in my life.

You remind me of the time I spoke to my primary daughter’s school teacher to ask about her reading. Coco, for it was that clown, told me that he believed that children of that age would learn to read “by a process of osmosis”. I looked it up. Osmosis is the process by which a liquid, usually water, passes through a semi-permeable membrane to mix with another liquid of higher concentration, eventually equalizing concentration.
I moved her to another school.
Enjoy

Now is the time to make a change! My hat is off to you (especially at 61 years old — do it while you can still remember what primary school is). In all seriousness, I say enjoy the ride!
