Ryan Jackson, the Head of English, talks about his hopeful beginnings in Virginia as he points his talents towards the search for fusion and science, and the subsequent turn towards teaching (care of an honest guidance counsellor). First time English teachers will hear about exactly why you should very carefully consider your class texts, but especially Apocalypse Now. We discover that Ryan also did not, in fact, wear a bow-tie on his first week in class (which is probably wise).
Join us on the second episode of 'Why Teach?', where we hear the fascinating and unique stories of what brings people to the front of the classroom. Recorded at University Senior College podcast studio, Adelaide, South Australia.
