Bernard ,I think you are talking cods wallop, i dont care if you are a certificated teacher.
Being a certificated teacher does not necessarily make you a good teacher.

Dick, I accept your clarification regarding the above... but I'm still a little puzzled as to why you think I was not intended to take that particular posting personally...

Anyway, I think we've dug deep enough into this hole already, so let's call it quits at that!! ;o)

I do understand what you meant, taking it as a generalisation, and do agree that there's good and bad to be found in every profession.
