Ah, the light of day(s) ... and the aid of a friend and reader! It would appear that my most recent musings have raised at least one eye brow - and for an arguably good reason.
It was less than 48 hours ago that I mused on my return to academia. I, rather inarticulately, explored my own thoughts about the distinctions between theory and practise ... academia and the less lofty pursuits of my prior employment history. My clumsy, pre-dawn ramblings may have raised the ire of more than one attentive reader, and for that I apologise.
Rather than annoy, I had hoped, instead, to articulate my own surprise, and occasional frustrations at the new surroundings in which I find myself. The productivity of said surroundings that my personal history has taught me to question. (Having said that - there is very little my personal history has not taught me to question).
For the record - the teaching profession is more than valuable - until humanity develops some type of genetic memory - teaching is essential. The methods of teaching, and of teachers, are plethora, and many (if not most) are good. It is to those, that I apologise for any slander my last post may have caused.

Hey Greg...didn't meant to indicate any real offense to your last post...my comment was meant in jest :) The saying does have some degree of truth behind it, or it wouldn't have prevailed this long! I definitely teach some things that I can't do on the Badminton court!

Yes, but the jesting nature of your comment does not invalidate it.
