No Fun Allowed

make learning fun again

Do you feel like a cog in the education machine, churning out a curriculum for students who don’t want it, assessing what you taught them but they didn’t listen to, and then feeling like you’ve failed... only to repeat the whole cycle again, term after term?

There’s something seriously wrong with the way we’re told to teach. You’re doing all the ‘right’ things — following the curriculum, using data-backed methods, — but your students aren’t responding. Behaviour is getting worse, and you’re seriously considering whether teaching is even the right job for you.

You’re not the only one!

In today’s classrooms, teachers are overwhelmed with rigid curriculums, strict data demands, and standardised methods. But what about the heart of teaching — engaging students, sparking curiosity, and fostering genuine learning? In the rush to meet expectations, we’ve lost sight of what truly makes education powerful: the teacher’s unique voice and approach.

This book will help you reclaim your teaching passion and remind you why you became a teacher.

Feedback on Thomas's writing.

I’m definitely a reader... however, [Thomas's] writing draws me in each time, and grips me right to the end! [He has] a gift!!! No doubt about that. [Thomas] reflects deeply on moments that most of us would dismiss as unimportant; then, has a knack of retelling those simple moments in a manner that reveals the treasure that lies within.

I found it a riveting read. I love your willingness to be vulnerable, willing to expose and question your heart’s motives…. I think this is the way to truly learn for the next step on the journey. There is something here for all of us to examine in our own journeys.
