School’s Out: Truants, Troublemakers and Teachers’ Pets
James Thellusson
A new collection of real-life comments, pleas, put downs, misplaced career guidance and character assessments collected from the school reports and memoirs of celebrities AND ordinary people from across the UK and Ireland. The collection is designed to gratify people’s interest in the school performance of famous people, to remind them of their own school days and to make them laugh.
James Thellusson
James Thellusson went to St Paul’s School, London, then York University to read English Literature, which he now believes should be renamed ‘Advanced Reading’. After a spell as a journalist, James went into PR. He is a father, husband and bemused Boomer, whose alter ego Man in the Middle, blogs against the demands of family life. The spark for this book was lit when he found his old school reports in the attic during the first covid lock down.
