Stand up and be counted : who'd be a maths teacher?

Authors

M Butler

Abstract

Teaching is not easy, but everyone who has never done it seems to think they can do a better job - just as comedians are often offered so-called 'good' jokes by non-comedians. The author of this article, who taught secondary school mathematics for five years, provides an amusing account describing the similarities between a maths teacher and a stand-up comedian.
