Jolly Jack’s Castle - An Everyday Bloody Barking Mad! Story of Teaching Folk

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 30, 2011 -- In Jolly Jack's Castle , Ken Dunn's revelations are written in the form of fiction which he admits are 90% the truth. On reading the story of “Braumstate Cathedral School” it becomes clear that there are very few schools he could be writing about and his breadcrumb trail of clues may reveal which school he is exposing.

“The four week Christmas break of ‘playing with grown-ups’ was over. They were back in the nut house and really, really looking forward to another term. It was a cold, late morning and a couple of the staff were up in the staff room looking out of the window as their precious pupils were arriving back ‘bursting’ with enthusiasm for the new term ahead. Fat chance of that. They surveyed the growing traffic jam as parents arrived with their offspring in huge ‘4 by 4’s’, ‘Jags’ and assorted ‘turbo’ models, all adding to the grid lock which always happened in and around the School at the beginning of every term. As vehicle doors opened and mums, dads, kids, trunks and bags filled up the gaps between the cars the comments from above followed the usual pattern.

'Look at that one!'
'Which one?'
'The one with the thighs, teeth and.....'
'Oh, that one!'
'New?'
'Think so. Too 'smiley'. Doesn't have that guarded look, somehow.'
'Who's that?'
'Which one?'
'The one climbing out of that red, Japanese 'bullet' thing.'
'Oh, him?'
'Yeah.'
'Gun-runner.'
'Gun-runner?'

'Yeah. Only way she can afford to get her kids through this place. You can tell by the way she walks.'
'Oh, yes!'
'I see he's back.'
'Who?'
'That one!'
'Oh, him!'
'I thought he'd been expelled?'
'No. Just suspended.'
'Oh. I suppose that means the 'management' bottled out again?'
'Well, it was only a medium sized fire.'
'True.'
'He'll have to try harder next time.'
'He will. Give him time.'
And so the Lent term began.
