Teaching journalism

Harish,

Always a pleasure reading you. Even this time, despite the disconsolate tenor.

As someone who has recently been `trained` in the ostensible science of teaching, I can relate well to your lament on the loss of idealism and compassion in what used to be, essentially, `social services`. I too see how skills and playing it by numbers and `management principles` have come to supplant the fire in the belly that inspired and drove one without the need for competition.

Thanks for sharing this.
