As a teacher, teacher trainer and educational consultant in higher and further education working and living on four continents I have been through some interesting times including the break up of the Soviet Union, the liberation struggles in Southern Africa, freedom in South Africa and the end of the dictatorship in Mexico. Along the way I have learned a few things, gathered different insights and formed different opinions. This blog is an attempt to share knowledge and opinions and discuss different topics of mutual interest with anyone who may care to join in. I am starting up this blog as a natural consequence of pouring quite a bit of my energy, along with many other commenters, into the Guardian "Comment is Free" website. I will be inviting those people whose ideas and opinions I respect to join in and post articles on the blog alongside me: namely Donkeyshott. Feel free to comment. Phil
