When I arrived at Dinyane High School in the year 2002 as a young Biology and Integrated Science teacher, the senior teachers gave me two pieces of advice:
1. Put a bit of washing powder in your bath water to soften it 2. Don't worry about the pupils; they are useless.

I took the first advice and dismissed the second with the contempt it deserved. There is no society that is made up entirely of useless people, was my response. The looks they gave me must have said, 'poor delusional young man, he will soon learn the hard life lessons'.
