No. Idea.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgie wanted to make a difference and do some good in the world. She decided that becoming an English teacher was the perfect solution.

Quite hard indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA must for teachers, educators, parents and anyone who appreciates dark humour!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorgie Brooks\u003c\/b\u003e lives in the Adelaide Hills with her husband, children and pets.
