Technology was not as well advanced as it is today. I actually feel sorry for teachers today because there are so many variables that they deal with not only teaching and learning. Discipline is also a major factor; classes are much larger. There are also many social ills in the community, which then spill over into the school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_704d212b\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cIt always warms my heart when I meet an ex-learner, and that learner who is now an adult, thank you for assisting them.

When I walked around some would give hugs, others would shake my hand. I will miss the art of teaching and sharing knowledge with the learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as much as he will miss the education sector, Kapp is also counting down the hours to his retirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will spend the first few months doing nothing.
