Each one, teach one
May. 17th, 2007 07:11 pmAnyone recognise that as a slogan? I associate it with literacy programmes in ?Niceragua? I am arguing with someone in Africa who is saying that until they have in place a western-style network of qualified instructors to support the doctors, there is no way to educate diabetics ... Me and Friere (and whoever came up with 'each one ...') argue otherwise.
I live in a world in which some people are selling their NHS-prescribed test strips at £10 a go on Ebay, and others are being misdiagnosed with aids, when they are dying diabetic ketoacidosis.
On a lighter note, heard back from the OED re 'mundane':
"Thank you for your message and link. I shall add this information to
the OED's revision file, to ensure that it is taken into account when
the editors are next at work in this part of the alphabet."
Gets my prize of the day for a sentence which applies whether a 'normal' or a 'user of mental health services' has submitted the opinion that 'mundane' needs revision.
