'I cannot count how many times I have been told to f*** off by a pupil.'

Charlie Carroll is a successful young teacher in a great school. He loves his job but wants to see the tougher side of British education.So he hands in his notice, takes to the road in a beat-up old camper van and spends a year travelling round England's most deprived areas supply teaching in dozens of the country's roughest comprehensives.

Carroll is battered and bewildered by what he finds; pupils threaten to abuse him, deal drugs, flash knives, surf the internet for porn and fight in class. Often, lessons are more about riot control than learning.

He's almost broken by the experience, but just occasionally - in the most surprising of places - he comes across inspiring kids who are battling against the odds.

This is his frank, funny and frightening story of a journey to the edge of modern education.
