The Introduction

I have the rather dubious pleasure of working in the library at an exclusive all boys private Catholic school. You know the type of place; a long waiting list of spoilt male offspring, out of date uniforms, imported Asian students whose fees keep the school funded and a gloriously tarnished paedophillic background.
I however come from a highly sinful and very public school background where I was brought up to despise those lazy fuckers in the private system and gloat over my much more socially realistic school experience.
Before undertaking this very unexpected career turn I worked in a public school library for several years and this only helped to give me a greater insight into the vast gulf between both systems.
While I could debate the pros and cons of both for hours...
Public: pro - students learn to be self sufficent.
Private: con - students need their arses wiped.
Its not the point of this blog...
What I wish to express are the day to day happenings in my little library world. From the cute and fluffy to the 'I want to smash someone in the face with a stapler' moments (see: teachers) because so much happens that shatters the illusion of this wonderful educational super power. If parents were aware of the fuckwits that actually inhabit schools and 'teach' their children they'd be mortified.
Let's begin the funsies shall we...
