"The best teachers are often found in the corners."

Does that mean that it isn’t easy for us to find qualified teachers or they (the best teachers) are marginalized?

Thank you sir for your question.

The first video on
this page, "Public schools are teaching what?"

Or you can check it on YouTube.

Regarding Syria he wrote: "Now, the best solution to get out of this war – or air strikes – in Gaza is to return to Syria, and strongly, for whoever is responsible for the launch of the home-made rockets in Gaza did this whilst being well aware that there is no equivalence. The whole purpose of this was to save al-Assad, whose days are numbered; indeed his ouster is just around the corner".

We have in the corners and then we have around the corner. The later is an understandable idiom but the former needs to be defined. Will you tell me what is meant by in the corners?

"... the best teachers are often found in the corners."
