Mr Raymond Pennington is the headmaster ................... a small residential school ................... boys on the south coast ................... England. Last year, he sent ................... ................... parents a brochure which described the sort ................... education that was given ................... his school. It seemed that life ................... the school was hard, not only ................... the children but also ................... the teachers. Mr Pennington wrote:

"My teachers work hard. Even if they are ill, they are fined £15 a day ................... all the time they are ................... work. I believe that hard work, good manners and sticking ................... your job are far more important than book-learning and travel abroad."
