ABSTRACT
New teachers starting their initial training frequently say that they aim to ‘pass on their knowledge for the benefit of others’ (Wood, K., 2000). The experienced teacher is often more focused on the way that their performance will be evaluated. As a result the most typical answer to the question ‘What are you hoping to achieve with this Year 10 class over the next 2 years?’ would be ‘So many passes at grades A*−C’. A problem with each of these viewpoints is that they do not address the question ‘What is the point of teaching BEE?’.
