In the good old bad old days, teachers wore white shirts with ties and pressed pants, and beat children mercilessly to force them to learn. Nowadays they resemble nothing so much as bored pickpockets.
Unesco says this is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to deploy their vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally.
Well, they were not all the greatest of people. Some applied sadistic methods to force us to memorise the names of rivers and mountains in strange, far-off places. How they expected a bunch of Bantu children located on the southern tip of Africa to master such complicated names from biblical times beats me.Still, no matter their sadistic tendencies, teachers were neat and snazzily dressed, though there were those who barely made the effort and looked like they had wrapped themselves with old curtains. But generally teachers were snazzy dressers.
