Product reviews for Don't Send Him in Tomorrow

David Whitaker, Executive Principal, Springwell Special Academy and Springwell Alternative Academy
If you are prone to crying easily, then be careful reading this book. If you get frustrated and angry easily, then be careful reading this book. If you want to know about a world of education that has previously passed you by, then please read this book. If you are at all concerned about our most vulnerable children, then definitely read this book.

-˜Have you ever visited a special school?' asks O'Brien as he raises his head above the parapet in his frank and heartfelt -˜study' of children with special educational needs. His knowledge and experience of working with children with learning difficulties is extraordinary and his passion infectious. 

Allow O'Brien to let you in to the world of special education and remove its -˜cloak of invisibility'. Let him walk you through the hidden treasures that are special schools. This book will test your thinking and make you feel either elated or embarrassed. Either way, it will make you a better person. Even better, if you are a teacher or a school leader, it will make you a better one of those too. 



Skilfully, O'Brien brings you into his world and explains what we, as special school head teachers, want everyone to know and understand. Reading this book has made me want to shout even louder about why we are failing children on so many levels and in so many ways. O'Brien is fighting the fight for children with learning difficulties, so let's all join him.
