Rolo’s Case Files: Notes the Teacher Wasn’t Supposed to Share

Step inside the staffroom diary and meet Rolo — the child who manages to teach you everything… usually the hard way. These aren’t polished tales or sugar-coated success stories. They’re the raw, slightly chaotic, sometimes comical records of one brilliantly unpredictable pupil and the daily curveballs that come with a child who’s not quite “school-ready.”

From toilet tap floods to baffling playground politics, each entry lifts the lid on the small disasters and big lessons that shape real classrooms. They’re written with humour, honesty, and just enough hard truth to make every parent and teacher nod in painful recognition.

Each file doesn’t tie everything up neatly — because that’s not real life. Instead, it gives you the messy middle: the frustrations, the misunderstandings, and the “oh no, not again” moments. Then it hands over the reflection and practical tools so you can help your own child face the world (without the shadow of Rolo’s chaos following behind).
