Waiting at the school gate. Idly listening to a couple of mothers talking about the new teacher. He is very very good and suddenly I hear, ‘Les bons professeurs, ça ne court pas les rues.’
What on earth does that mean???.. Teachers running in the streets? How on earth did they get there?
This sentence has been whirling around my head for several days and I really don’t think it can be taken literally so it must be an expression. Thinking about the context in which it was spoken, I wonder, could it mean that good teachers are hard to come by or good teachers are thin on the ground?..
