Creative Report: Questions for Primary School Teachers

 These questions look to explore their own experience at school growing up, their routes into teaching and their experience of teaching at present. It also intends to look at any advice they would give to me about becoming a primary school teacher. Both teachers are actually very creative, so it would be interesting to see their opinions on art in schools, how they overcome it and what creative things they do outside of teaching. It's also interesting to fins out why they didn't go into the creative industry and chose teaching instead.
