The education of children in public care has always been, and continues to be, a subject of controversy. Social workers, teachers, government bodies, and members of the public contribute to the debate. These Kids is the authors account of his work with children in public care. The book reflects his complete naivety at the outset of his experiences and his long and painful journey to a more informed and developed understanding. With humour and honest insight, the author reflects on his own and others experiences, and lists the rules which enabled him to survive in the field for twenty years.
