To Miss With Love: Katherine Birbalsingh's Book To Launch March 3 In The UK


To Miss With Love


'Miss', in this instance, is Katherine Birbalsingh, who has lived a most interesting few months, following her address to the UK Conservative Party conference last Fall.

For her audacity in speaking the simple, unvarnished truth about the failure of public sector schools, she was sacked by the headmaster of her failed school, which the authorities came and shut down, because, well, it was a failure.

Since revenge is always sweetest when served cold and at a distance, Penguin Books will publish her first book in the UK on March 3.

The release event has sold out, with a waiting list.

The failed headmistress of the failed school does not yet appear to have a book deal, but undoubtedly she will serve at some high position in the Ministry of Education in the next Labour government. Who better to occupy such a position?

In the meantime, if you haven't heard The Speech That Got Her Fired--here 'tis.
