Product reviews for Oops!
Phil Beadle, Teacher, education consultant and author
Oops!
Educators! Look to your laurels! There's a hip, young(ish) gunslinger coming at ya straight outta Barnsley, and he's gonna change the way you think! Hywel Roberts is a magpie's intellect writing like a man with two brains on a heavyweight jag of a particularly garrulous amphetamine. His message is that engagement is the message and in delivering it he's sharp, he's intellectually underpinned, he's effervescent, he's the teacher you wished your teachers had seen teach.
In Oops! Helping Children Learn Accidentally he's produced a cornucopic (I know it doesn't exist -” it should) antidote to cynicism; a call to arms. It's part memoir, part guide, part surreal series of disembodied lists, part methodology for being the kind of maverick who gets better results than anyone else and that the kids like better than they like you (!) Read it, shed your teaching skin, and there'll be no danger that you'll ever, ever become what Hywel memorably calls, -˜A monkey. A puppet. A monkey puppet.'
