Houellie,

I tend not to think in the prescribed fashion....and nor do you : )

I think you'll probably enjoy this essay by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Guess which two practising upper class prat posters are havin' lunch at the Y?

There hasn't been much education here lately, only mere relaying of information. If today's teachers aren't able to actually teach then why do we have them ? Too many teachers are too young to understand what teaching is all about. I would not let them influence our youngsters until they've done a stint of National Service. But that's another sad story.
Teachers need to understand that their influence on young students can last for life be it a good experience or a bad one. It is irresponsible of our Education Departments to simply shove some young person who happened to pass multiple choice questions at Uni, into a class room & leave them there. Many of such young teachers have not progressed at all by way of either becoming responsible adults or adults at all.
What more evidence do these bureaucrats need before they come to their senses. The clock is ticking.
