As a History teacher, I often get into conversations with parents about their various historical passions. From the various exploits of the SAS to the post-war Nazi hunters and the foreign policy of emperor Titus, some people meet History teachers and use them as an excuse to share their passion for obscure History. If anyone has an image of an all-knowing History teacher this is quickly smashed as I quickly try to blag (my year 11s would be proud) my way out of the situation by saying something vague about a subject which I quite obviously know nothing about.
