Sobre IBD

These stories are an ironical look at a teacher’s life and work, showing how educational ideals sometimes have to be abandoned in the interest of real life that keeps butting in. They deal with experiences in Scotland and Germany. The main message is that there is no “us and them” – we are all in the big human soup together. The stories are also a tip of the hat to the folk of the North-East of Scotland and their values.
