My Mum is a teacher at a very posh school teaching A-level students. She is an excellent teacher... how do I know... by all the cards and flowers she gets from her students at the end of the academic year saying thank you. 
I'm very proud of my Mum that she not only helps those girls get great grades but helps them in so many other ways too.

Yes, I think I've seen some of those films.

My English teachers are amazing like that in particular, because they know I love English, and one of them just has to glance at me to know if I'm not myself and that she needs to check I'm okay. My biology teacher who I used to have was the best for it though. 
Roo remembered it's pancake day and she won't be able to do nutella and banana filled pancakes cause of the choc ban . I'll try something new....

My mum's colleague wasn't teaching the girls properley so my mum put on extra classes to help the girls. Plus helped one girl through her exams even though a parent had died not long before. My mum really cares!
Can she teach me please?
She would love you!
I'm quite moany and annoying though, in case any of you somehow didn't notice.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! 
I'm sure my Head of Year who is also the one who decided on the events leading to the Spanish and Biology debacles will agree with me, because I keep complaining to him about how much of a joke it is.

What about the anthrax and threatening letters she gets from her students when their exam results are returned?

Considering the students average As, I doubt that.
If your mum's a teacher, does that make you feel pressured to do really well too?
BUT THEY WERE PREDICTED A*s.

She was my teacher at one point for Psychology. Unfortunately, becausee of this all my work got sent off for extra checking by outsiders... turns out my mum had been too harsh on me!
