Your points about teachers are very interesting Keberoxu. I have been a teacher for most of my life and have truly loved it because I learned so much! The most wonderful things I have learned have not been from courses or seminars, but from getting off track on academic things... I have read hundreds of letters, wills and diaries from the Middle Ages and I see us of this time and place being no different. it was a huge gift to learn that. I am ( or was until retirement) passionate about talking to students about that . don,t over value the present nor underestimate the past.
