This is interesting, and well worth a read.

The first lecture especially on the rewards system.

...and if like me you can't draw a straight line ( even with the help of a ruler) let alone a cartoon!

Quote from my school report for art ( many many years ago)
..."In my 25 years of teaching, this is the first boy that I have ever met who has no aptitude for art whatsover". Confidence booster or what?

In light of what some teachers said about well-known people and their likely futures, I can't help but wonder what you now do/did for a living???

Well, putting your students down like that would be a bit bad, eh?

Hope no-one took my comment amiss, all I meant was that there've been a number of well-quoted cases of teachers saying their pupils would be hopeless at (x) subject only for them to become a world leader at exactly that... I think Richard Branson and John Lennon (?) were two notable examples. So I wondered if teuchterpete was in fact a successful artist, or interior designer or something!

Nope still can't draw for peanuts.
Thankfully I have technology to do it for me.
