The Shorter Oxford Dictionary definition of pedagogue is 'a schoolmaster, teacher of preceptor, usually a hostile usage, with implications of pedantry, dogmatism or severity'.
Please do not count me among the 'effective early years pedagogues ' (Good practice, 18 November) completing 'pedagogical documentation' (Special report, 18 November). I prefer being an easygoing practitioner getting on with my keyworker files!
