ABSTRACT
You are a great teacher. You know it. Your colleagues know it, although of course they do not let on – professional jealousy and all that. Your line manager knows it. Even the parents know it. Why, then, do your students not know it? They sit there like puddings, passive and inert, while you show how great a teacher you are with your pyrotechnic displays of knowledge and wit. If only they were better motivated, they would appreciate how good you really are and results would really start to rocket.
