Most? Half? Hardly any? I thinhk there are genuine concerns on the part of EAs. I do have some sympathy with their predicament. However, at the moment they are going <B>well</B> beyond erring on the side of caution.<BR/><BR/>Hello both<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your general agreement that I am no expecting too much of teachers. However, I suspect that people who read and comment on blogs are not exacty typical examples of the teaching profession. :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1133699620471778002005-12-04T12:33:00.000+00:002005-12-04T12:33:00.000+00:00Am I expecting too much of teachers?No. Just some ...Am I expecting too much of teachers?<BR/><BR/>No. Just some teachers. I was driven dotty by the server in DGS when I was there - half of Richard Holloway's sites were barred because of "unsuitable content", and there were book reviews we couldn't access either.
