I wish all people used your solutions. I would even print them out and out on the wall. It is so simple to think anout what you don’t know and accept it - then you will make plans and learn more. I hate it when people pretend they know everything and always stay on the same level. Thank for your valuable post. I wish all people used your solutions.

Unfortunately, I don't think that such things can be solved at an administrative level. People are different... For example, one can see a piece of advise as a personal attac, and someone else will not... And we can not change it. Maybe we should revise the criteria for the teachers selection, add a short course for new staff etc.?
