W: What's the most rewarding thing about being a teacher? Teaching high school in London?
G: Being able to influence and umm... just talking to young people. Because even though it can be quite tough, you can get out of it what you put into it. You know, and... A: Inspiring G: Individuals are interesting. W: What's the most discouraging thing about being a teacher? What bums you out? G: Discipline. Discipline and umm... I think sometimes kids today... it's not that they go to far... It's that they don't go far enough. You know like uh... I feel they're less radical... they're more conservative. Actually, when I was younger we were like Anarchist... we were Punk Rockers... we wanted to you know, change everything. But know I feel kids are more interested in shopping... for Nike trainers (shoes), and, "come on". You can be... just be something. The world needs changing. The environmental problems, political problems, but they don't seem so interested in that. W: Don't seem to care do they? G: No.
