Read 'em 'n weep was her adjustable slogan (Frank Zappa)

Given teachers in NZ are currently luxuriating in a well deserved summer holiday I don't feel the urge for heavy posts about education at present - had enough plum pudding and Christmas mince tarts to last me a while. 

I don't even have much of a hankering for checking all the edu-news that comes my way via emails and The Walrus Gumboot (as much as I love The Walrus Gumboot).

So - here's something fun from YouTube which has, on the surface, NOTHING to do with education - but UNDERNEATH there's a whole lotta stuff going on (I'm picking).

As a teacher, for instance, like Jimmy: 

• We need to prepare well so as to appear confident
• Teachers need to be extroverts and perform in a classroom
• Teachers need to have confidence (comes with practice)
• We need to know that it's often hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
• We must recognise our limitations
• We have a limited time frame to get our message across
• Once it's done - take a bow, put it aside and move onto the next lesson
