Tell me that wasn't a teacher!" follows his hesitant steps as a trainee teacher, struck dumb during an early lesson, confronted by parents in his first few weeks of teaching, and then encountering talented and dangerous pupils. Near disasters at a steel works, sea sickness on a ferry, claustrophobia down a coalmine and narrowly escaping avalanches in the Alps are just some of the "fun" times he enjoyed with his pupils. With his well-chosen stories and incidents Nick not only entertains but informs the reader about the nefariouscolourful behind the scenes goings on in the educational world. The dialogue is colourfully illustrated with many incidents some sad, others naughty and some very moving. Nick encountered a stuttering sportsman, a one handed pupil and even a boy brought up in a kennel providing him and you the reader with many poignant moments. He describes attempts to involve the wider community encountering in the process cases of child abuse, meeting a target criminal and working with police and social services on a regular basis. Incidents and characters seemed to follow him during his time in higher education Many pupils stand out for different reasons and Nick is still in contact with several of them. Nick Crozby married his childhood sweetheart and has been happily married for over 50 years. They have two children and three grandchildren. Nick Crozby is the authors' pen name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handbook for staying grounded, emotionally connected, and empowered regardless of what's in the headlines and who's in your face. From politics, climate change, and the economy to racism, sexism, and a hundred other kinds of biases--things have never felt so urgent and uncertain. We want to take action, but so many of us struggle with overwhelm and burnout. And on top of it all, we get so many messages telling us to relax, to "let it go" and feel some other way about things. We'd like to think that emotional intelligence and mindfulness will help--but why do these approaches so often fall short in fever-pitch moments? In his warm, funny, streetwise style, Ralph De La Rosa offers tools for coping in contentious times. Full of insights and practices addressing everything from trauma triggers to privilege guilt and the art of saying no, Don't Tell Me to Relax brings the welcome news that our thoughts and emotions are not the enemy. Rather, when met skillfully, they can light the way to self-empathy, social understanding, and an activism that has room for both inner and outer work.
