Despite training in citizenship, I am employed as a humanities teacher. This has meant that I have had to go from being a specialist, to an “all-knowing” geography, history, citizenship, politics and religious studies teacher. I say “all-knowing” in the comic sense, although most of my students do expect me to know every single fact about everything that has ever happened in the world. It can be exhausting.
Of course most of the time, I just tell them I don’t know. I run off some spiel about how interesting the question is and how it would be great for them to go away and research it so that they can inform the class next lesson.
