Whatever happened to Miss Pears?
Your comments:

Henry Rigley, Melbourne, Australia:
A good story showing that, a woman can live happily outside what is usually thought of as 'normal sociological boundaries'. One doesn't have to necessarily conform to what others believe should be.

Simon Wellock, Whitgift:
Simplistic beauty.

A Donley, New Zealand: Great little film. I liked the story and the few words that said so much.


Whatever happened to Miss Pears? By Debra Wilkinson.

Please tell us about yourself

I am a parent living in Hull. I am from Cheshire, and my daughter was born in Hull three-and-a-half years ago.

We are connected with Hull Home Educators, who are a group of parents and children who educate their children outside of the mainstream school system.

We meet at the Pavilion in Pearson Park where we do workshops, play games, make things, learn things and socialise.

What's your story about?

My story is about that question you are asked when you are little: "What are you going to be when you grow up?".

All those hopes and expectations other people have for you and you have for yourself and then what happens.

And what happens to you isn't always what you or they expected.

Why did you choose to tell this particular story?


Because sometimes I feel disappointed with myself, but when I wonder why I am disappointed, I realise I am doing the right thing for me to be doing.

And maybe that disappointment doesn't wholly belong to me, or, it is impatience, or, if it does belong to me then I can use it to take me in the right direction.

I though that others might relate to this.
