Born to Teach

After teacher training in the very early sixties, Maureen Stahl was ready for a life of teaching. She was to enjoy a wide variety of teaching experiences, schools and systems.

The love of teaching and the children, and eventually adults, in her care shines through brightly. Her anecdotes are told warmly and with humour. A few are moving and many are hilarious, her sometimes wry responses to situations illustrating how well she was suited to this career she chose.

There will be parents who'll always remember her as a shining light in their children's school-life. Throughout, Maureen interweaves the story of her marriage and motherhood with that of her teaching career.

Maureen was "born to teach". This was a conclusion that she reached at the end of her teaching career and with which you will agree when reading her enjoyable book.
