In this episode Rose and Luc discuss (from our very limited perspectives) what we think makes a good, bad or ugly teacher. We each cast our minds back to the before times when we were students ourselves, which for Luc was eons ago and for Rose, mere minutes. We also talk about our experiences in the classroom and the teachers we have worked alongside and by the end, hopefully have designed the ultimate educator.
