A Brit Abroad

My name is Terry and I'm a 50 something year old dis-enchanted ex-pat Brit living in Cyprus. Why am I dis-enchanted? You'll find reasons enough throughout my tumble log, along with quirky items that amused me and things I think need highlighting, and occasional quotes from some of my favourite novels. Oh, and maybe some original work of my own.

Enhanced Teaching Methods

When I started my secondary education in the UK at age 11 we had a maths teacher who seemed to love beating kids. He would use a big, thick bamboo cane to ‘reinforce’ his lessons and no-one in his Monday afternoon class would get away without a caning.

We thought at the time that he was just evil, when I got older we re-classified him as a closet child abuser.

Now, thanks to Bush, Cheney and co. I know that he was just using ENHANCED TEACHING METHODS.
