please ignore the broken chair in the corner

it’s just another annoying teaching assistant

Who Is The Broken Chair?

The Broken Chair works in Education.  She’s been in Education since the age of four, briefly leaving to partake in an adventure of Unemployment, followed by another adventure in Retail.  The Unemployment adventure was the bestest. 

The Broken Chair loved being in the classroom, and found the power of wielding control over thirty teenagers at a time to be exhilerating and, oh – such fun!  However, the exhaustion of evenings spent indulged in marking, and weekend’s spent glued to lesson plans, became too much for our feisty young heroine and she opted for a ‘career’ in the Mum’s Army.

She’s not even a Mum, and thus she finds the term derogatory in a way that Chav can never be.  

The Broken Chair, now in her early thirties, is currently employed as a Level 3 Teaching Assistant in a School for Naughty Children.  Contrary to popular belief, she does love it.

This is her blog, her story.  In the words of her students’, deal with it, innit.
