Yes, I've heard of that.

That's good.  It's a habit of every physicist.

 BS> What about you?

I teach physics at a two-year college in the USA.  I'm mostly interested in
the philosophy of science, and especially the philosophy of physics.  And
of course, physics education.  I like to use computer-based lab exercises
for my students.  They allow an inquiry-based approach rather than the
old-fashioned approach of having the student simply verify something that
he's already supposed to know.

The big problem in physics education is the new notion that physics needs
to be more accessible to a larger number of students.  It used to be that
we needed to have only a few bright students understand physics -- so we
could teach our courses with a sink-or-swim attitude.  Nowadays we have to
do better.  We need to expose a larger number of students to physics, and
we need to figure out a better way to do that.

For example, the petro-chemical industry is very strong in our county (yes,
that's county, not country) so at the community college where I teach I'm
trying to get students who seek that particular two-year college degree to
understand a little bit about fluids, heat, and thermodynamics.

On your continent you don't have these problems as everyone who graduates
from high school has already been exposed to quite a bit of physics.

That's good.  Nowadays physicists need to know a lot about computers and
computer science if they want to be employable.
