Inside his webbing pouches were 150 rounds of ammunition, two HE grenades, two smoke grenades, a small survival kit, 20 Marlboro Lights, and a medikit that included two sticks of morphine and two tourniquets. Strapped to the left-hand side of his Osprey body armor, within easy reach, was his bayonet. George was stationed in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the 37th birthday of George Vlachonikolis, he was dressed in a striped cotton twill shirt and well-ironed beige chinos. A thin fabric lanyard proudly displayed his ID badge. In front of him was a class of secondary school students, who were settling down and getting ready for their next lesson. George was teaching at a school in the UK. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Camouflage to Classroom is a memoir that chronicles everything George learned with the Army in Afghanistan and has brought to his classroom teaching today. By reflecting on the most intense and thought-provoking experiences of his life, George aims to explore the role of the classroom teacher from an original perspective: one based on military principles and practice. This book takes a direct, human, and honest look at the challenges faced by classroom teachers today and offers some military-inspired solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 209 x 147 x 11 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913622763\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Vlachonikolis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095276974330,"sku":"9781913622763","price":5.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/99135c24cd8edf384cce6c4568e7a12f.jpg?v=1637207323","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-camouflage-to-classroom-what-my-army-career-taught-me-about-teaching","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
