No, Mark....this is where you're wrong.
As a member of the media, I don't think I can do a better job. Certainly not a better job than the very small percentage of teachers whom I would hold in very high regard.
I think with a minimum of training, however, I could do at least 'as good' a job as perhaps many teachers in the system these days teaching English and Media Studies.
What I certainly believe is that, speaking generally, standards have fallen to a critical level and something needs to be done to address the slide.
And as a member of the media...I sympathise with your sentiments. Every man, woman and armchair commentator alive reckons they can do a better job than most journalists!!!
