Ooh, very interesting.

But you missed a couple of words in this phrase:
teaching primary school

Consider this a teaser to the scifibigbang. :)

I fretted all the way through this about Americanisms, and I think this may be one of them, because it sounds fine to me, but I know it must be wrong in England. And I'm not sure if I can articulate the idea so you can tell me the right phrasing.

I was trying to indicate that Sarah was teaching what would here be grades K (kindergarten) through 5, kids ages 5-11, so that she'd be teaching Amy at whatever age she was in the last episode (7 or 8, I think).

Ah, I had no idea this was an Americanism. It should be "teaching at the primary school" since you can't teach a building.
