Teachers' responsibilities extend to dealing with a number of sensitive topics and ensuring that their pupils have the knowledge and skills to cope with difficult situations. In these short dramas teachers encounter a number of incidents: 'Aduja’s Predicament'– potential abuse; 'The Notorious Fighter' - an aggressive pupil; and 'The Chase and Where do Babies' come from - misunderstandings and classroom myths. Each drama poses a dilemma for the listener to discuss.
