Switching from secondary to primary interview for TES

I was emailed a couple of weeks ago asking if I'd be interviewed for an article for TES on this. Well I mentioned it to Jo, who was quick off the mark and got her interview done on Thursday. So I emailed the journalist to bring mine forward, had said to do it on Tuesday as the kids are at grandparents! But touch of green with envy meant I had to get mine done too!
4:30 pm on the dot the phone rang, the house was strangly quiet (so different from what it is now - Katy has just kicked Fred over an argument about library books - that's another post!)

He asked lots of questions and I'm sure somewhere I've embarrassed myself - everytime I mentioned a job move, or change it was related to the dropping of a sprog! He kept laughing, so I think I said something interesting or just sounded mad!
Then he said would you consider going back, which is when I started laughing and had to confess I'd gone for a job as transition teacher - then we got onto discussing transition and I was off on one!
49 minutes we talked for! Must be a record! So I post on TES to se if Ronan's managed to talk for that long on one of his TES interviews, and Tafkam says he wants to be interviwed as he could upset both primary and secondary teachers in one fell swoop!
Naughty Tafkam - yes I did email him the TES journalists contact details! ;)

I'm glad that us rare breed of middle schools will get a mention - it's not often we get a mention in things :o)
