I'm Afraid He's Doing His Best by David Sidnell

I'm Afraid He's Doing His Best tells the often humorous and touching story of John and David who, after positive experiences in Germany for the Rhine Army in 1947, attended Westminster College and shared the College Prize for teaching. They became Headmasters at primary schools and their teaching experiences would raise the eyebrows of many inspectors today; John's first class was on two sides of adjoining rooms with a wall dividing two classes. Much of the first term was spent in relaying answers from children in one room to the children on the other side of the wall who could neither see nor hear. David found himself often accosted by parents who believed they were speaking to their child's teacher. The book tells true stories of how a child's mind works and some of the old-fashioned problems of allowing children to become enthusiastic about themselves and their work.
