Re: Teachers
Most of the teaachers first of all didn't earn the respect of those they were trying to teach. Some teachers just could not teach even though they knew their subject. Teaching is not just telling what to learn but how to make it interesting at the same time.AS you all well know my hobby is photography. I often get asked how, what or why by people and I find that just saying do this or do that conveys nothing. if I am asked face to face a question or even on forums I try to explain the reason behind my answers or demonstrate if possible. That way hopefully the answers I give creates an interest and the person goes away wih a new eagerness to try out my suggestions.
getting the information from teacher to pupil so they understand I feel is more important that just quoting from a book

I think the classes were more orderly years ago, these days they are lacking discipline in the classrooms so how can the children concentrate on lessons as we did.
When I became a teacher I did my best to emulate them, both in making the subjects interesting and in maintaining discipline.
Sadly, times had changed (or perhaps it was just the demographic of the area I was in), and the matter of discipline suffered. This was certainly exacerbated by the attitude of many parents who, along with their children, served to spoil it for the more interested and willing pupils.

Re: Teachers
My teachers wore those black hats with tassels , black cloaks and when I went into that secondary school from day one I decided I wouldn't attend . I would attend registration and assembly then bunk off till registration at the end of the day . Consequently foolish me had no education . The school board man was always knocking on the door too . As you can tell I was a mixed up kid . Life has been my education .Turn full circle and I go to college each year to study and I love it . I got qualifications from the age of fifty and realised I wasn't "thick" as I'd been told I was . I love studying .
My daughter is a teacher , a brilliant one too , music and drama , she brings the best out In her pupils and takes note of those who need a little more help and guidance .
With hindsight I should have gone to school and studied as my grandaughters do , but I've made up for it in later life .
