    This is an education book that is like no other that has gone before. It won't tell you what to do minute by minute, lesson by lesson, day by day. It won't batter you with impenetrable research or tell you what you must think. You won't even find a scheme of work in it some planning ideas, for sure, even a template or two, but there's no spoon-feeding here. It's just a book that invites you to consider where you are in your own educational journey. It's a book to get youbothered.
    Botheredness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to sum up the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is real and deliberate and gets children and young people on board with learning. It is the holy grail of teaching and something that will both significantly improve your enjoyment of teaching and benefit your classes enormously.
    This book is therefore an exploration of the road less travelled, backed up with Hywel's own experiences, reflections and research down the rabbit hole of contemporary education. It's about the reinstatement of professional integrity, the teacher as storyteller, and the need for our professional imaginations to be nurtured and curated. Hywel sets out to help teachers enhance their understanding of what it means to lead learning and thinking, to stand beside children as well as in front of them, whilst developing their knowledge acquisition with compassion, warmth and optimism.
    If you are looking for an education book that will inspire not dictate, that will entertain, challenge and fire up your imagination in equal measure,that allows you to think beyond a path laid out by scripted lessons, downloadable schemes and quick-fix fads, then this is the book for you.
    Providing clear strategies around imaginative and effective planning, supported by genuine examples of powerful classroom work from primary, special and secondary settings, this book is an essential guide to reclaiming your professional warmth, passion, and care - your botherednesss - in the classroom. Written by a travelling teacher and film buff who's on a mission to put botheredness into classrooms everywhere.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders, as well as other education professionals.

    It is only a very silent mind that can actually see - 30 May 1967 
    - Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence. 
    - A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.  
    - Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of comingupon immeasurable reality. 
    - It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, acontrolled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. 
    - When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created,and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is spaceand silence. 
    - Q: Could you de ne contemplation and meditation? 
    - Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one's own irrational thoughts. 
    - Q: What does it mean to stand alone?

    Before the streets of Tehran echoed with revolutionary chants and the name of Ayatollah Khomeini became a global symbol of defiance, Iran was ruled by Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi—a monarch whose ambition was to modernize his country at any cost. Known as the "King of Kings," the Shah envisioned an Iran that could rival Western nations in technology, infrastructure, and global prestige. His White Revolution, launched in the 1960s, was a sweeping series of reforms aimed at rapidly modernizing the nation. Land redistribution, women's suffrage, industrial expansion, and increased secular education were all central to his vision. In the eyes of Western powers, especially the United States, he was a key ally and a symbol of stability in a volatile region. 
    But beneath this polished exterior, discontent festered. The Shah’s modernization efforts, while bold, were top-down and often clashed with Iran’s deeply rooted religious and traditional structures. Many in the rural population saw land reforms as chaotic and unfair, while urban intellectuals criticized the regime's autocratic nature. The clergy, once influential in shaping public life and morality, saw their role increasingly diminished. Religious scholars and conservative families grew uneasy as Western influence crept deeper into Iranian society, challenging long-standing cultural and Islamic norms. 
    Moreover, the Shah ruled with an iron grip. Political dissent was crushed by SAVAK, the brutal secret police known for its surveillance, torture, and disappearances. Political parties were neutered or banned altogether, and elections were often staged performances. Public criticism of the monarchy was not tolerated, driving opposition voices either underground or into exile. Despite vast oil revenues, economic inequality widened, and rapid urbanization led to overcrowded cities, job shortages, and growing disillusionment among the working class and youth.
