[QUOTE="SteveHants, post: 7750818, member: 3380"] Quite. The numbers of "armchair experts" out there on teaching is quite staggering. I guess it's because everyone has been a pupil, so they think, by association they know what good teaching entails. I'm well aware of what it's like not to enjoy school, I didn't myself. So, I get both of these things - lecturing in livestock production, having been a livestock farmer. TFF is quite tame, I really don't engage much on social media anymore, even on farmer pages. Seems on facebook, having a different view to someone is licence for them to stalk you, including apparently joining Linkedin just to find out about my career and professional associates. Some of the accusations are laughable. Apparently I'm a communist (baffling) and "another lefty lecturer poisoning the minds of our kids". I don't see them until they are 18, I don't really discuss politics (except as pertains to farming) and, more importantly [I]they are bloody adults [/I]and ought to be able to cope with hearing differing opinions and deciding for themselves whether they agree or don't.
