If I hadn't attended an "elitist" school no-one would have "kicked me in the bum" to make the best of my capabilities. If I had gone to a Comp. I would have sunk without trace.<br /><br />Richmond MathewsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-79298273272531609712018-03-27T16:39:59.864+01:002018-03-27T16:39:59.864+01:00Yes, I remember using the school's facilities ...Yes, I remember using the school's facilities too.<br />But today's teachers seem to be political, lazy and arrogant. <br />They are incapable of controlling a classroom of children without having at least one teaching assistant. <br />They cannot use their extensive free time to plan their lessons, instead they bleat about having free periods and even days off to do so. <br />They are more interested in what goes into their pupils lunchbox than what goes into their heads.<br />And they arrogantly think that the time a student has in their presence is sufficient for their educational needs.

You can avail yourself of excellent microscopes to do your own microscopy and various chemicals to conduct experiments by yourself, or you could when I was at school, with certain provisos of course. Plus a well stocked library. Now do all schools have all these facilities these days?Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-71563232210196006162018-03-27T15:41:49.314+01:002018-03-27T15:41:49.314+01:00Schools are not centers of learning, they are cent...Schools are not centers of learning, they are centers of inspiration.<br /><br />For instance:-<br /><br />Boys will try to mimic the skills of Messi or Ronaldo with no 'teaching' input from either of these great footballers.<br /><br />Girls will try to mimic dance routines from various famous pop stars without ever meeting them.<br /><br />Any good teacher will know that very little can be achieved in the few hours a week that their pupils are in their classes.<br /><br />A good teacher will inspire pupils to go and learn for themselves.<br /><br />Better schools have better teachers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
