Mrs Sharp
Biography
Mrs Sharp is an A-Level Computing teacher, who occasionally participates in lower school maths lessons. For you guys who don't know Mrs Sharp, you'll find her down Waterfoot with her school CHUM Mrs Read romantically dining at lunch, frequently visiting Cordey's. She is best identified by her apparent lack of problem solving ability. When faced with a problem she will fall back into one of four pre-installed modes.
1) Consulting VisualBasic for dummies.
2) Deleting several lines of code and then saying "I'm just going to walk over..........." leaving before she finishes the sentence
3) Asking the most able member of the class she is teaching for help.
4) Saying "I'll let you have a little play with that."
