Mr. Bates

English literature teacher at Meadowbank Girls' School, 1997 to 2023

🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom
1997 to 2023
English, Spanish

For 26 years I was the English literature teacher at Meadowbank Girls' School. I taught teenagers and a few brave older students who wanted extra help. I coached the school's athletics team for a few seasons. We lost more than we won, and I'd do it all again. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
