Oh, my poor poor teachers. How did you cope with me? I was a pretty clever young lad (seriously, I was a “gifted child”), but I was lazy, particularly as I got older. I coasted, and was pretty arrogant about it. What is the reward in teaching such a child? A child with promise, but no apparent will to try. All those teachers, I thank you for trying, offering me help which I was frankly too daft to truly accept. I may come back to this later…
