Titling this Russel's "10 commandments for teachers" is very misleading. He included these under the title "A Liberal Decalogue" [ * ] in his autobiography and as far as I can tell there's nothing to suggest that he was addressing them to teachers in particular.

- why-el 14y agoHe did identify himself as a teacher, saying "The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate..". So he clearly wants to see those commandments followed by teachers.
- thisrod 14y agoI think the parent is right. Russell was presenting the ten commandments that he would teach, in constrast to those taught at sunday school. There's also the legendary section of his C.V.: Awards and honours 1950: Nobel prize for literature 193?: Pronounced morally unfit to teach at university by the supreme court of New York state
