WHY does Eric Leaver (LET, April 24) hate teachers so much?

At every opportunity he can be relied upon to vilify the entire profession and to encourage readers to believe they are all greedy and lazy.

Has he no good word for any of his own teachers?

Did none of them contribute to the high standard of his own literacy and artistic skills?

What happened in his childhood to cause him in later life to use the power of the Press to wreak vengeance on his educators with repeated vitriolic and sarcastic attacks?
