@Ydh72mye That's not true. He's been teaching me something new everytime I listen to one of his poems.

As a teacher of English of four years I can safely say that going 'off piste' in the classroom is now akin to an act of rebellion. How sad is that?

This is just great, I have been teaching in France in college for years and this is so truth, so BEAUTIFUL, I love it. I agree, let us teach like a new snow falling ! Helas, they want us most of the time to create polite and obedient workers, eliminate the unruly children, and not helping kids to become clever citizen... this is why it is so difficult to teach like the new snow falling, the kids love that and it is so efficient... But the system do not like us looking through the window
