Well I suppose we have to conclude from your posts that you had bloody awful teachers, Iains. You certainly weren't sucking on any of their teats.

One thing that we teachers come to realise is that the real bloody idiots of this society are the people who don't see the value of the education they had at school. There are two egregious examples on this forum, Iains and Teribus, both completely pig-ignorant of what being a teacher entails and both as rough in their manners and demeanour as a vulture's crutch.

And fer chrissake, Al, if you really think akenaton had it right in that post, then there's no bloody hope for you.
