takes readers on a kaleidoscopic, round-the-world school trip spanning seven countries and six decades.
Starting in the bustle of post-war Sydney, the book travels through an ever-changing landscape of schools: rich and poor, conventional and quirky, depressing and inspiring.
Highlights include surviving a grimy inner-city teachers college, chilling in a laid-back expat school in Bangkok, mingling with the gentry in English boarding schools, embracing the rhythm in a bushland Steiner school, throwing caution to the winds at a Balinese eco-school and labouring in a Singaporean exam factory.
The journey ends in a fantasy land of future possibilities.
