You might not know it but before becoming a class stand up comedian Greg Davies used to stand up in a class. He was a drama teacher, although by his own account he was sh*t at it. In this clip he tells the audience what made him such a rubbish teacher, taken from his Netflix Special You Magnificent Beast.

@@LatinoAaron You're right, no-one *would* teach for the money. That's why, to be a good teacher, you need to WANT to do it. It's a calling. There are many shit teachers because being a shit teacher is incredibly easy - but the few good teachers from my childhood, the ones who gave me confidence when I had none, inspired me to carry on their legacy. Having a teacher that really cares and tries means the whole world to a kid with no confidence in himself, trust me. As for the old 'those that can't do, teach' chestnut, my dad trains experts who've worked in industry their whole lives as technicians and engineers to teach what they know to students. They know the material back to front, but their idea of teaching is to stand at the front of a class talking about the inner workings of engines for hours on end while their entire class falls asleep - and then they wonder why no-one remembers what they've said. Teaching is its own form of doing and those who don't understand that make bad teachers. It's extremely easy to be a bad teacher, anyone can do that - and many people do, unfortunately. Being a good teacher, though? You need practical knowledge of the subject, presentation and performance skills, social skills, public speaking skills, the ability to plan, to think on your feet and improvise when things go wrong, to handle difficult children, teenagers and sometimes even difficult adults, a sense of humour, compassion for your students and colleagues, good emotional self-control, a watchful eye, a sense of discipline, the ability to assert authority and to show confidence even if you don't feel it, a genuine investment in the success of your students and, perhaps most importantly, the willingness to admit when you're wrong and learn from your mistakes. So yeah. You're right. Only a crazy person would teach. It's difficult to be good at it, you don't get paid a lot and people who've had bad experiences at school will hate you just for BEING a teacher, whether you're good or bad. Who in their right mind would do that?

My then 11 year old daughter who was sat on the kitchen table behind me asked “Dad is wine a solution” To which I genuinely replied. “Not in the long run no” My wife burst out laughing, my daughter was very confused. Turns out she was just doing some chemistry homework. Story still comes up 4 years later anytime I order wine at a restaurant.

J C - they were 100% serious. There is an interesting disconnect with children and teachers. Some of them, when they see me in public, they are surprised that I am a normal person (that I don’t solely exist at school), and since school is a part of their existence and a place that is waiting for them when they arrive, they often see us as citizens of that ‘world’ instead of workers at that job. This happens a lot to me, but that story is my favorite.

"Think of how dumb the average person is, and then realize *half* of them are dumber than that" -George Carlin
@JohnCWannamaker
@JohnCWannamaker 4 жыл бұрын
@Brainflayer I always hated this quote because it implies that dumb-smart is some sort of scale like temperature. Even ignoring the fact that "being smart" is falsely viewed by some as an obvious binary state despite it being super fuzzie and objective(especially at the edges), each human brain is far too nuanced to be easily cataloged on a scale of dumb to smart. This quote is actually a perfect example. George Carlin was a very intelligent person, but if he truly thought this made sense as a way to think about his species' intelligence... he was either uniformed or wasn't understanding something correctly. I get that the vast majority of what we interact with can be quantified.. but consciousness and the human brain is why we can even understand those concepts and talk about them, but it's definitely not able to analyze itself and other brains to the degree we can rate everyone on a scale. I know it may seem obvious when distinguishing between an obviously dumb person vs an obviously smart person, but even when it's that obvious it's most likely not because the human brain can always surprise you... and again, we don't have a definition of intelligence like we do with temperature or size. Like how educated and otherwise smart would a person have to be, for you to consider them intelligent despite them being a flat earther? Because while there might not being alive at the moment, an einstein level genius flat earther is not an impossible thing.

Nearly got a detention from an high-school English teacher who was mad that I corrected him about the capital of Alaska not being Anchorage. He wanted the class to name as many states and capitals as individuals to show we had more intelligence together than separately. I listed all 50 states and capitals, (Thanks, Animaniacs) and he was trying to show how wrong I was and that no one person could know them all, so he announced that my list was wrong as I had put Juneau as Alaska's capital.

In fact, I gave up a pretty cushy job to turn to teaching, in spite of the stress the long hours and the shitty pay, because I actually give a crap about what happens to these kids. And I didn't quit my job when a kid in my class died of leukemia, or when a sixteen year old girl told me she was pregnant from her dad, or when a parent threatened to come to my house if I didn't start giving his precious son better grades.
