ABSTRACT
The question I have chosen to answer is 'Do teachers care about truth?' Many of you might well react to such a question by saying that it is not worth asking: of course teachers care about truth! All of us do, at least most of the time. We don't set out to mislead other people or lie to them. And when teachers are teaching they will probably be particularly scrupulous. They would emphatically reject what they saw as the teaching of falsehood, error or misunderstanding. And so you might say it is obvious that they do care about truth.
