Key Words

Education System, Exam Nightmare, Father and Son, Refusal, School,


About

Sammy won’t go to school. Jimmy, his doting father, tells him that school’s a wonderful place to be. Try telling that to a kid who’s not having a great time in school. A kid who used to think that school was a big happy playground or a never-ending birthday party. Try telling that to yourself after you wake up many years later from a delayed ‘exam nightmare’…
