Possible error in this article.

I am watching the tribute to Ted Wragg on Teacher's TV at the moment, and there appears to be contradictions between this article and the show I am currently watching. According to the commentary on the show, "Ted Wragg: A lesson to us all", Ted Wragg joined Exeter University in 1966, not Leicester University as the article states. Also, after Exeter, He moved to Nottingham University in 1972. Maybe this article needs some referencing from other sources, to make sure it is utterly accurate. Regards.

RE: Commentary

Talking with a contemporary at Wyggeston Boys' the other day our conversation lurched to Ted Wragg as we had both been in his German classes/form: as we catch up all too rarely, Wragg had never been a subject of conversation. I mentioned having read in the Commentary paragraph: "Wragg was an advocate of warmth, humour and humanity in the classroom and defended these ideals with passion against a narrowly utilitarian approach to learning ..." which had astonished me from all too clear recollections of his bullying and far from learner-centred teaching. I mentioned this surprise to my friend given that on one occaison Wragg thumped both me and an adjacent pupil on the back of the head - hard - and wondered how that would be treated today. My friend laughed and said he too had been bullyed by Wragg over a two year period. By way of context the Wyggeston Boys' was a school where teachers did not strike pupils, likely why this was memorable.

I've thought about this note, however perspective on this man was called for as an educaional practising visonary he was not in my time and his classes were ones of saturnine gloom relative to others. Maybe there was a Damascene moment, irrespective people are remarkably consistent over time. ObserverFlynn (talk) 12:17, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
