Teachers on the Radio

Why is it that whenever I hear a teacher being interviewed on the radio, they always manage to make us all sound like fools?

Maybe all the ones bright enough to string a coherent argument together are too busy teaching.

Haven't you been interviewed in the radio??

I seem to remember you writing wistfully of l'esprit d'escalier - perhaps you should not be so quick to comment on others.

I enjoyed your first book and and used to enjoy this blog btw. I hope it gets better or you give up!

Or maybe all teachers are fools.

They might not all be lions but they have led by a veritable procession of donkeys.

Or perhaps many of us have left. Having read your books, I am certain that my decision to leave teaching was the right thing to do. I taught English in Norway - but the situations you describe are just as relevant there as they are in the UK.
