I didn't know you had been a teacher John! I bet you were awesome at it :) Although you probably get more kudos here then you ever did there haha

thanks, Lynne - definitely get more kudos here! I couldn't stand the politics of teaching, especially being in a leadership position, but I loved my students and still keep in touch with many of my former colleagues - As a matter of fact, I just chatted with a former student ( 10yrs. ago) on Twitter. It's in the genes, lol

Interesting. That's exactly why I got out; and I too stay in touch with many of mine, now married and having children of their own. Some simply want to apologise haha It is an unbelievable rewarding career, as long as you're not in it for the money:) Cheers!
