May I Torture You Teacher? Vol. 5. Don't Want No Chalk People 'Round Here

      Аннотация: The concept of training is interesting; if the term business is dropped in favor of vampirism. It then becomes illuminating, as teachers are drained by the vampire, rather than trained, which allows the employee to gain insight into the nature of the activity, that is, death camp slavery. It won’t have escaped the notice of the profession that chalk and cheese is what schools are about, for example, the IT engineer that helpfully shows the educator how to connect their smart ‘phone to the overhead projector (OHP) in the classroom, using Bluetooth, is cheese to the colleague who politely explains that there aren’t any modern conveniences, and shows the new teachers from the Philippines and Sidcup the tin with the bits of chalk inside beside a blackboard. The doyen of IT will live and thrive, while the beggars with the tin will plod on until they dodder off the scaffolding and plummet to extinction.
