In all the time I have been in Palermo (15 years), I can count on the fingers of one hand the complimentary things I've heard about teachers' effectiveness and/or the way they treat the students.

Jane presents two poignant pieces by her students on the worst teachers they have ever had, by her students - Edoardo and Federico - 15 years old at secondary school in Palermo, Italy. The lesson was about 'good'/'bad' teachers. The texts come in their original versions without the teacher's or the editor's intervention.
