Rising up above the Place du Palais, the gardens of the Rocher des Doms provide a hawk’s-eye view across the city’s red-tiled roofscape and the valley of the Rhone. From here a short, though steep, descent leads down to the famous bridge, the Pont St Benezet, shortened to just four spans by floods in 1680 and now a stage for giggling lovers, waltzing for a moment before the baffled gaze of a Japanese coach party.Confined by its medieval walls, Avignon is small enough to be explored on foot, though a street-plan is essential. The Office de Tourisme, on the main north-south thoroughfare, is a useful source of help and information. Back streets behind the tourist office meander towards Avignon’s most intriguing quarter, around the rue des Teinturiers. This quiet cobbled lane, shaded by old plane trees, runs beside a little stream complete with water wheels and toy-town bridges.Away from such quiet, idyllic spots, Avignon dances to a lively beat, with music throbbing from its bars and clubs deep into the night.

For those aspiring to the higher slopes of culture there are churches and museums aplenty, and an ever-changing round of concerts, plays and operas stimulated by the reputation of the city’s annual festival. At Utopia, in rue Figuiere, English-language films can often be seen before they are released in Britain, and the cinema is worth a visit simply for its restaurant. Cavernous enough for any Pope, and decorated with enormous, faded mirrors, its shabby glamour is no doubt exquisitely ironic, but the food is everything one might expect of a genuine, old-fashioned brasserie. Just beyond its doors, the palace forms a dark and massive silhouette against the stars. Laughter echoes from a narrow alley cut into the living rock The stage is set, the scene is Avignon. Anything might happen next.Vers le pont d’AvignonGetting there Flying from Britain to Avignon requires a change of plane in Paris – and since all flights to Avignon depart from Orly airport, it will probably also involve a change of airports. If you travel from London on Air France (0181-742 6600), you have to transfer from Charles de Gaulle.

The lowest fare is pounds 171.60, which includes the coach trip between Paris airports. A cheaper alternative is to use Eurostar from London Waterloo, changing at Paris or Lille for a direct service to Avignon. The journey time is about nine hours, and the fare is pounds 109 return through BR International (0171-834 2345) or the Rail Shop (0990 300003 or 0990 717273); note that our researcher spent 25 minutes holding in a phone queue before a Rail Shop operator answered – pounds 2.20-worth of waiting.Staying there Small, central and good value hotels in Avignon include the Hotel Garlande (00 33 4 90 85 08 85), where a double room is 300F with breakfast 40F per person extra; and the Hotel de Blauvac (00 33 4 90 86 34 11), where a double room with bath is 295F with breakfast 38F each.More information The tourist office in Avignon, at 41 Cours Jean-Jaures, is very helpful, whether you call in (it’s a five-minute walk straight down the road from the railway station) or telephone (00 33 4 90 82 65 11 from the UK).

Pension funds increasingly conduct their investment privately; less than 10 per cent of index trading last year, for example, was conducted through traditional exchanges.As the amount of money coming into the markets has grown, it has thus been concentrated among fewer buyers, creating a shift of power away from Wall Street’s traditional sellers – who now, by one estimate, outnumber buyers six to one.This ratio, Mr Gibson argues in his book, goes a long way to explaining the increasing desperation in the securities business to come up with ever riskier strategies to make money.

Laura Day doesn’t call herself a psychic. She prefers the term “intuitionist.”

Early reviews put down “The Blind Side.” But word of mouth — driven by the Web — has helped make the film a big hit.

Don’t increase Afghanistan troop levels, says the activist filmmaker.

Hence we develop the essential quality of humility.10 Finally, if you are depressed and need a good laugh, or are wondering if your work is effective or your methods are right, recall memories of Wyggeston (my old school). Who gained the boys’ respect? Basher Watts or Bill Gould? Why? Who had the best class control? What was it based on? Who had the strongest personalities? You may lack teaching experience, but you have the advantage of recent experience as a “customer”, and can therefore gauge pretty accurately what your pupils are thinking and feeling.11 I nearly forgot – when questioning, see that all parts of the class are brought into action. A common fault with beginners is to concentrate unduly on those near them. Don’t neglect those at the back or on the flanks – and see that the reluctant ones are pressed into action. They may be intelligent but lazy, and content to let the others do the work if they can get away with it.”What a man! He could save the country millions of pounds in training costsnThe author is Chief Executive of the Universities and Colleges Admissions ServiceIt’s all under control: creating the learning environment. As inspectors do the rounds of the nation’s classrooms, sorting “good” teachers from “bad”, they would do well to heed a few words from the experts For the experts are all around them. Generally forgotten in the arguments that rage over teacher effectiveness, the pupils themselves are invariably their teachers’ toughest critics, and they are surprisingly sophisticated in their judgements.

Contrary to popular belief, the teachers they like and respect are not simply those who give them the easiest time, but the teachers from whom they can really learn something. From a small sample of pupils aged from six to 17, asked what sort of teachers they liked and didn’t like, a predominant concern was that teachers should be good at explaining and helping you to understand.
Alex, 11, who is at an independent school, finds his maths teacher “quite nasty – because when you’ve done something wrong, he can’t understand why you can’t understand it”. A former primary school teacher, by contrast, he singles out for special praise because “if someone was confused, she’d try and get to them as soon as possible”.”I like teachers who teach us the way we understand, and not all gibberish,” says John, 13, who is at a state school Teachers also have to understand pupils, he adds. “I don’t like teachers who don’t know what you’re on about.”"My favourite teacher was the one I had last year,” says Jenny, six, who is at an independent school. “If you didn’t understand what to do, she’d let you do your work at her desk.

Sometimes I have nightmares thinking about when I get older, having stricter teachers – because if I don’t really understand what to do in my maths, I’m shy to go up and ask.”Nice teachers help you, and nasty ones don’t. “That’s what some teachers have done to me: you ask for help, and they say go and get on with it,” says Paul, 12, pupil at a state school.Nice teachers are also firm. Young children express a little nervousness about a teacher being strict: “I don’t like it when they shout, and tell you to go and sit down as quickly as you can,” says Laura, six, who attends a primary school – but, as they get older, many positively welcome it.”Teachers have got to be able to keep order,” says Joanna, 12, a pupil at a middle school, “because if they can’t keep order, they can’t teach. I’ve had teachers like that – and it’s chaos.”"I don’t think it’s a case of being strict or not strict, but it is how they are strict,” elaborates Lucy, 17, who is at a comprehensive. “If they shout at you for no particular reason, then you don’t like them.

But if a class is being really rowdy, you don’t want someone soft.”Stern judges of classroom management, pupils have nothing but contempt for a teacher who doles out detentions for petty offences – “you feel you may as well do something really bad,” says Joanna – or one who makes empty threats. “Most teachers don’t live up to their threats – you’d respect them more if they carried them out,” says John.Pupils are also unexpectedly acute about what might be regarded as a technical matter, known to their teachers as “differentiation”.”I don’t like teachers who treat the whole class as a sort of lump,” complains Lucy. “They teach everyone exactly the same way – but people are different, and have different abilities and different ways of working. They ought to personalise it more.”Even a six-year-old, Laura, fondly remembers a nursery teacher for her elementary version of “differentiation”.”I liked her because at lunch time she put you on the slow table or the fast table, for people who ate slowly or fast. I liked that, because then you wouldn’t be left behind, with no children.”Teaching methods come in for some harsh scrutiny. Joanna is flatly dismissive of any teacher who relies too heavily on work sheets (“tedious little questions”) or board copying (“so pathetically boring, you don’t take it in”), or who sets “pointless homework, reeling off the first thing that comes into their heads, which might not have much to do with what you’re really doing”.Alex is bored by a French teacher “who goes off the subject, and blabs on about something else, so you lose your concentration”.

John is scathing about a teacher who switched from teaching history to other subjects. “He didn’t know what he was doing – he had the same book as us, and just said things from notes.”Good teachers, they all agree, know their subject inside out, and know how to make it interesting If they are also good on jokes, so much the better. “My favourite teacher makes nice fun of people in class,” says Alex. “But they don’t got upset, they laugh.”Bad jokes, however, from someone who is trying too hard, incur a pitying scorn.”Some teachers try to be funny and aren’t Teachers like that shouldn’t bother,” advises Lucy. “It’s like they are trying to be part of the gang, but they’re not, they’re too old.”You can’t separate yourself too much from the class, but you can’t try and join in too much, either”n.
