I was a Private in the British Army. I was in The Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters which are now 'no more' due to defence cuts. Only lasted about 10 months. I thought it would be 'good' for me, and can see why it works out for some. I was not suited to it's discipline. My Sargent used to say
I have a natural aversion to authority
No room for individuals in the army. It is the reason why it works. I think teacher's should be
promoting individuality and also teaching kids to think for themselves, which is why i am
a little alarmed to hear where the next teacher recruit's are coming from!
