Product reviews for Don't Send Him in Tomorrow
Cath Murray, Schools Week
The beautifully written Don't Send Him in Tomorrow rails against the 'cloak of invisibility' over people with learning disabilities and suggests that every mainstream teacher should spend time in a special school.
Lest you fear this be a preachy tome, however, rest assured: with characteristic hang-out-your-underwear-in-public nonchalance, O'Brien employs fabulous phrases such as 'blissfully unaware and completely uninterested' to describe his own prior relationship to the sector he now expounds.
He tells stories, marks out clear themes, and includes diplomatically titled sections such as “Some suggestions for the secretary of state for education” and “Some suggestions for headteachers”. Tongue in cheek, or the height of diplomacy? It's hard to tell, which is just one of the many features that makes this book such a gem.
A Christmas gift for anyone with a heart and a brain.
