Introducing…

Hello everyone…I have entered the world of blogging in order to record my thoughts on the wonderful world of teaching, as well as education more widely.

I’ve taught for 20 years now and thought it would be a good time to share my wisdom. Having said that though, I am with Socrates when he said ‘The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing’, so this blog will share my thoughts and I will be happy to have these challenged. For a start…is that quote actually by Socrates? Or is it one of those phrases that gets attributed to every intellectual who has died under the sun?

Jimi Hendrix once said ‘Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens’, so I’ll try that type of wisdom as well. Although clearly no one spoke to him about the dangers of sleeping pills.

My blog posts will be there to start conversations rather than to end them and I hope you will find them thought provoking enough to share them with others who might also enjoy reading them.

Thanks for getting this far…have a lovely day and see you soon!
