First survive. Do what it takes to survive. Only when you are surviving, perhaps start to try teaching. And then when you find you are consistently teaching, maybe try to teach well.
You're no use absent.

Not in itself, but surely it may stem from a insufficiently addressed SN.

Tbf, the British government said exactly the same thing about the Climate and Gaza protests.

A mass-protest is not a sign that the rulers are doing things wrong, it's *mob* rule ... say the rulers.

Agree. Not even in BBC *World* news. Censorship by omission.
The other week Trump told Europe the US was going to undermine their liberal democracies ... not a word.

They were working on this as a 'cure' in the 1960s. The problem - apart from keeping the patient alive whilst raising the temperature - was the release of toxins into the blood as the cancer 'died'.

The problem with cancer cells is they are not an invader - they are YOU, misbehaving.

When one goes into print, one gives everybody the right t say what they think about it.
Some of them will be arseholes.
I used to stick negative reiews on my wall as a motivator to make the next book perfect.

Call it something else - 'cost-saving', 'energy security', 'future-proofing', 'public safety', 'flood protection', 'drought preparation', 'weather-proofing'.
Just don't mention the words: 'clean', 'green, 'warming' or 'climate'.
The NEED is still there, it's just the presentation needs to adjust.

In your exam you are going to get a question which asks you to comment on changes in an aspect of medicine over time, or at least a question which asks you to compare the medicine of two different eras.

Another offering
SIGNIFICANCE OF VESALIUS
www.johndclare.net/Medicine_2.3...

Give ½ the class only the Pros, ½ only Cons; tell them to form a view of Vesalius.
Then rearrange into mixed groups of 4 (2 Pros, 2 Cons) & tell them to debate to a consensus.

Good. It will allow the female students, should they wish, to enter into the full range of play, without the need to 'act like young ladies'.
Apologies if this response offends, or appears old-fashioned; it accepts the reality of school life.

The Theory of the Four Humours grew out of the Greeks attempts to explain the world: four elements, four seasons = four bodily fluids (the 'humours') all sharing the same qualities – hot or cold, wet or dry.

Anybody who thinks of the USA as the 'chickens' does not understand the terms of trade; America/Americans are the fox.

Wish they were but, unfortunately, I fear they are not. Plenty warmongers and sycophants here, sadly.

Correct; you beat me to it. I symoathise with the sentiment, but the allusion is erroneous.

New unit on Korea in the process of being added - the basic draft text is complete, but I will be proofing/revising it and adding the peripherals over the next few weeks.

Hats off to the Cabal of Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley and Lauderdale – they are surely the most mnemonically obliging group of people in English politics ever.
