Well that was a a fun thread, wasn't it kiddywinks?
Tomorrow I am training 2 South Africans in how to do a very small part of what I do. I am being a good boy and preparing all the bits and bobs I will need.

When was the last time you had to teach somebody something?

Alt: When did somebody last teach you something

AltAlt: Teachers: Wonderful, undervalued members or society of lazy skivers with too many holidays and a dangerous left-wing bias

AltAltAlt: why is the thread, that someone has inevitably posted while I'm typing all this, better than mine?

That job was as dull as he is, I'm so fucking glad he's gone.

Alt: My brother taught me the use of researching a company before an interview, I think it made me look good last week.

AltAlt: Wonderful, undervalued members. Anyone who seems to think that teachers only work when they're at school are sadly mistaken. When my Dad taught, he'd regularly work until 9-10 at night.

AltAltAlt: Your premonition didn't work.

in my experience good teachers are few and far between
the ability to enthuse grumpy teenagers about a chamical reaction/the movement of tectonic plates/ the writings of Dickens is a huge skill and one very few teachers possess. Team this with an education system designed to allow children to pass exams, not to revel in the enjoyment of learning and you have an uninspiring system that doesn't work for enough children.
