Being able to eat your lunch and drink your coffee in two seconds flat, all whilst on your way to the photocopier, and planning your next lesson, and talking to a colleague…

Teacher Problem #8
Saying, when at school, “I’ll work on this at home”. And saying, when at home, “I’ll work on this at school.”
