The father of Warren Menteith of Nyatnyatan (Bali) was a primary school teacher, who had “the unerring ability to turn from the blackboard (C8) and hit a miscreant, supposedly sight unseen, with the chalk. Years later when I asked how he could do that, he said, “Easy, I wear glasses and the blackboard acted like a mirror on the edges of the specs.”
“Well may you write a cheque on a cow (C8) but a student teacher of mine actually drew a diagram of a cow’s digestive system on one of our school’s Jersey cows,” writes Phil Armour of Yass. Something to ruminate on.
