From BARBARA TOMLINS
Is John Galloway really suggesting that only those people who have read
their subject at university make good teachers (Letters, 7 July)? Does he
know what makes a good teacher? Has he considered tolerance, flexibility,
commitment, insight, an ability to listen, teach effectively to a wide range
of abilities, and so on? Does he realise that many graduates in independent
schools are not trained to be teachers? Has he ever suffered at the hands
of one of these graduates?
