With Christmas just a short sleigh-ride away, we've done the impossible - created a ripple in that allows an actual teacher to have chance to visit the island even though it's their busiest time of the year. Phil Tite is an inspirational figure, championing reading in class and creating extraordinary moments that his pupils will remember for ever. Frank and Nadia are, frankly, a bit unsure what to do with themselves, it's so long since anyone with a proper job has come along to say hello, but Phil soon puts them at their ease and has them eating out his hand. It's a joy of a conversation that will make his swordfish class realise why they're so lucky to have Mr Tite as their teacher.
