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?

Some teachers are a'rseholes and should be shot.

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???

I am a Teacher!!!! ( of Science) and I would never dream of making such a remark on any of my reports.

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.
