    Two years before the Battle of Hastings, Earl Harold of Wessex and Wiliam of Normandy met - but not in battle. Harold was shipwrecked on the Norman coast, and spent the summer with William. Before he sailed home, he swore an oath, that, when King Edward the Confessor - God forbid - should die, he, Harold, would not try to stop William gaining the English throne.At least, that`s what the Bayeux Tapestry would have us believe. But it is well known that the Tapestry was pure Norman propaganda. So what really happened, before the Norman spin doctors got to work on it?

    There is much to be learned about teaching. But it is learnable.No beginner should be daunted by long words, psychology, jargon, or fashionable philosophies. Proficiency in it is not a Druid-like mystique which takes decades to master; it is not a rarefied skill accessible only to a gifted few. It can be done.

Keep eyes and ears open; you can pick up tips anywhere. Like here, for instance.

    Berwick Coates found it something of a shock when he worked out that he had taught over 40,000 lessons. However, with a record like that, it seemed not unreasonable to suppose that he might have a thing or two to say. Among others is the great truth that the classroom is not a democracy, a salon, a debating chamber, or a symposium; it is an arena, which is pervaded by a semi-permanent state of friendly undeclared war. Victory does not go to either side; you win some and you lose some. Survival depends on proper knowledge, awareness, flexibility, resilience, a willingness to learn, thinking on the feet, a sense of humour, and low cunning.
