EXTRACT: The end of year production was my biggest project. Oh, I was an ambitious, naïve young teacher! The students would perform Grease, as is the high school tradition. But was I content with your typical production? The cardboard sets, the home-made costumes? Cameos by physical education teachers? Not I! I demanded the performance be of a professional, magical standard; I demanded all the glory that could be got from Sandy and Danny! The power went to my head. I became the monster I'd always detested; someone who cares what the critics say … in a way, I doomed us all.

EXTRACT: (Once again breaking character). I find that the best way to encourage students is by starting the school year with a rousing motivational speech. (Back into character). You are lumps of unformed, unprofitable clay but, mark my words, if I have to huff and puff till my lungs pop out, I will mould you into something useful! (Pause. She straightens herself out again). So students, as it is the beginning of the school year, it is time once more to remind you of the school rules.
