The two Ps of teaching

LET me be upfront: teaching is hard. A large majority of us, I reckon, severely underestimate the intrinsic value great teachers bring to the table, as well as the complexities which surround the burdens attached to the teaching profession. That is further exacerbated by our lacklustre learning experience when we ourselves were students – just do a quick survey among your peers and you’ll see.

Great teachers are hard to come by; not everyone is cut out to engage in the profession.
