Lee and Adam Parkinson's second book has a similar diet to their first, an inside look at education based on their popular podcast Two Mr Ps in a Pod(cast). It's your own time you're wasting" is a follow on book to the very enjoyable "Put a wet paper towel on it" and is filled with anecdotes and experiences from the unpredictable world of primary school teaching. For books with (genuinely) funny stories of school life you should consider reading Gervase Phinn which are much better and are actually very funny!!

This was a super fun book based on teaching primary school kids from the perspective of teachers! I adored the first book and when I saw there was a release for the second, I couldn’t wait! If you’re looking for a guaranteed hilarious and funny read, this is your book. Overall though, an utterly brilliant follow up to the original and I almost enjoyed it more. I also loved your unique take and opinions on life and wholeheartedly agreed with your stances throughout. I feel I am slightly biased as after reading the first book (also via NetGalley - thank you), I have been an avid listener of the podcast, despite not being a parent or anything to do with the teaching profession. My housemate is an early years teacher and it's been a delight getting some more insight into her world. Inevitably, some stories involve bodily functions and items that belong in an adults only environment but somehow found their way into 'Show and Tell' sessions. Teachers didn't always realise what some items were for, leading to huge embarrassment when enlightened by colleagues.

This Is Your Own Time You’re Wasting by Lee - Waterstones

The book soon dwindled to nothing and I’d finished it in a blink of an eye. I don’t think I could ever get bored reading these stories and confessions from the teachers. More please! Some practices adopted during the pandemic, such as the introduction of digital teaching platforms, have led to positive changes in education; however, resistance remains. However, as it stands, much of this book *may* go over the heads of general readers - and I really do wonder if the manuscript was seen by an editor prior to publication.Lee and Adam are a delight, both in audio and text, I can wholeheartedly say this book isn't to be missed, even if you've not read the first book or don't teach or have kids.
