shiny happy teachers

Nothing gives me greater pleasure professionally than positive feedback from the people who are at the centre of my stories. In many ways they are actually the audience I have in mind when I'm writing my features. So it made me very happy - and extremely relieved - to hear from not one but four teachers who work at Cedar Mount School within 12 hours of my TES Roma story coming out yesterday. That's highly unusual for me - I'm more used to virtual tumbleweeds.Dominic: "Amazing article. Told the story of our journey with the community so well."Andrea: "Thank you for this amazing article!! We have come so far in two years and this is an exciting time for this community and Cedar Mount High School!!"I posted a copy of the magazine to Samuel Filipache - the star of the show - and his family this morning. I hope they like it too.
