Nope... The improvement was said teacher spoke to the IT governor, who also
happened to be a lecturer at a local university who called the IT dept and
the result was me!!! I have two jobs and still cannot afford to live around
here!!! (rant over)

   A few years ago a friend dragged me into a small discussion group at the
BETT education show. One of the teachers present had discovered that she had
just been chosen to run her school's IT department, so had gone along to the
exhibition to find out what it was all about. I would hope that things may
have improved by now.
