It appears the the teacher training agency have run into trouble for an advert which claimed that teaching was better than any skin cream for keeping you young (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4173945.stm ). (will learn how to do links properly @ half term).

Apparently there is no scientific evidence to back this up and some teachers are a tad upset with the idea, arguing that it is misleading about how demanding the job is.

Well, I think if they did do the tests it would actually back up the alternative view that I have heard on more than one occassion that teaching can prematurely age you. However, it does keep your mind and body very active, so all in all we'll just have to wait & see. Meanwhile, I'm certainly not about to stop using the skin cream.
