Thought for the day

When I was a college student, my tutor Paul Padget (a self-effacing man with a brilliant mind) said to me one day:  "If you become a teacher, remember that your function is to ensure that your students become more knowledgeable, and wiser, than you are yourself."  

I rather liked that....... and once a teacher, always a teacher.........

I have always tried to hold fast to that ambition -- and that's what drives me to put  hard info, critical scrutiny and developing hypotheses onto this blog..........
