Knowledge Is a Thing

Today is a sad day, folks. A very sad day. At least, to me. Over at Green Chameleon Patrick has just shared one particular weblog post that made me feel very sad and equally sorry. Appalling! In Knowledge Is a Thing he has embedded a YouTube video clip of how a teacher treats his students when they have got whatever questions / comments. That folks is NOT the way you treat your students. Not now, not ever! Students are supposed to be learning stuff. Lots of it. But never ever be exposed to such behaviour, specially coming from your own teacher!

Being a teacher myself, I can only feel very sorry for all of the good teachers out there because attitudes like that one are not helping us a great deal. We are in the 21st century and it is a real pity that there are still people out there who behave like this. I just run out of nice words for that particular individual so I am going to stop here and let you watch the video clip. See what you think about it yourselves. One thing for sure is that whoever is responsible for that teacher in whatever the school I hope they could take some good measures not to allow him to teach again. Not now! Not ever!
