How to survive snow - Except teachers

[iaaems]

I was under the impression that teachers were there to teach. In my youth we were told that we should look up to our teachers and let them set an example of how we should behave and live etc.. To a certain extent they were 'surrogate parents', there to educate you in the subjects that your parents could not.
Then I came across the saying 'those who can do, those who can't teach' and my focus altered a little. It was then that I realised why some of the teachers in school were just not getting their subject across to me. They were not interested and just got paid to turn up. If you did not understand what they were saying then that was your problem not theirs.
Now their employers have given them the weapon of health and safety which they will mercilessly use at any given point. The days of the dedicated teacher are gone just like a lot of the good old values that once existed. A great shame but a fact of life that we all have to deal with nonetheless.
