As a former teacher ... it is usually more that you are having enough trouble trying to control a class who have already assessed you and found you wanting in all departments without being to made to look like an idiot onthe one thing you generally are in control of ie subject knowledge.... believe me I was a "good" student and after I started teaching I just wanted to grovel for every time I was a "smart alec" ..... teachers are contrary to popular belief human..... and have human feelings and failings .......... oh and if you ever spot one in a supermarket don't feel obliged to scream "that's my French teacher" with the modulation you might give to screaming "that's an alien from the planet Zog" ....
. Funnily enough most people who go into teaching do so with good intentions... not because they hate adolescents ...that is a consequence of teaching not a cause....
