A story from Tom Mc Caughren

We have just received a contribution from Tom Mc Caughren, author, journalist and broadcaster, who lives in Dublin. http://www.tommccaughren.net/

Most children don’t like going to school but Tom tells a story about two primary schools whose pupils actually did like school. There may have been days, of course, when they didn’t like the thought of it – we’ve all had days like that – but their inspirational headmasters, Master Russell and Master Gardner, tried to make education meaningful for them.

Tom credits Master Gardner with having extracted some little talent from his undeveloped mind, and with the fact that he went on to become a writer.

Thanks to Janet for contacting Mr Mc Caughren for us.
