Words on the Waves: Teacher Teacher with Alice Pung

Schoolyard memories bring either a smile or a grimace and they are a rich source of material for writers. Gabbie Stroud (The Things that Matter Most) takes us into the ecosystem of a school to follow the overworked staff faced with a looming crisis. Suzanne Leal follows two teachers and the fallout when one of them is accused of something terrible (The Watchful Wife). And Alice Pung (Laurinda) invites us into an exclusive school to see the power wielded by a trio of girls over staff and students alike.
