Ok so what's wrong with teachers?

Apart from the obvious stuff like they always think they're the cleverest person in the room when in fact they were too thick to leave school and how loud they talk and how scruffy they always are what is it that this board has against teachers? Come on guys, cut em some slack.

 

the only one you missed off is when they treat there kids as school kids. the voice changes and it hits you it's like being interrogated by the russian mafia. but thats the only problem i have.

 

That's the stereo typical teachers. We avoid them like the plague! One's on courses who put their hands up then we throw things at them like huge rocks to shut them up!ff

 

Some one has to do it.

How about a list of jobs that we can do without. I'll start:

Football Manager
Colour Therapists
Dog Walkers
Pet Groomers

 

I'll tell you what's wrong with teachers

They aren't allowed to teach any more.</p>

They are expected to take on the responsibilities of parents, and then answer for and carry the can for everything that goes wrong.</p>

They have to try and educate morons, who don't want it and know that nobody can make them do it. Despite this, they are afforded minimum control, subject to endless abuse from kids as well as attacks from parents.</p>

In the middle of all this they have to try and identify those who want to do it, and somehow get them through despite all the distractions.</p>

Above all, they have targets to achieve and results to deliver, failing which they are classed as lazy *******.</p>

The trouble is, good teachers - or those who try to be good, are one of the most important cogs in the big wheel of society. A cog that, if it doesn't function properly, can have a more devastating effect on us than we could ever imagine.</p>

The long term effects of losing good teachers and education is manifesting itself everywhere you look.</p>

It's a crying shame - and I am not, nor have I ever been a teacher.</p>

Spot on - not a teacher myself but married to a headteacher...
How they stick it is beyond me... i'd be out of there and looking for another job in days

 

A question

Now I am not a teacher of education but I am a teacher within another industry.</p>

Here's the question.</p>

Do you think I should educate te people that I teach and then send them home with a homework book and ask their parents to mark it?</p>

Here's the answer.</p>

No!</p>

So why do my kids come home with their homework (in the form of a book) with instructions for me telling me how to mark said homework?</p>

Also, if I have any problems then the answers are in the back of the book.</p>

It does seem a little too easy these days.</p>

Long gone are the days of doing your homework at the last minute (usually just before you had to leave for the school bus or the walk to school) and then handing it in that morning with a smile on your face because you managed to cover your excersise book with a better pattern than your mate. </p>

I even remember doing algebraic calculations without the aid of a calculator.</p>

I'm not having a go at teachers here, just the system.</p>

But what do I know?</p>

 

yep

Agree with all that.

My Dad used to get that 'you teachers are so lucky, you get all those holidays, and you only work 9-3.30' schtick all the time. He got fed up of explaining how he spent the vast majority of the non-school time working, and stopped. Hes also been so ground down by the morons he has had to teach, and by the ridiculous attitudes of the parents who refuse to accept that their kids might be a little ****, and have threatened to beat him up.

 

here here ...

I actually agree with all that ...

Which is why I find so ridiculous that they'd waste their precious time on a bleedin haircut ... which, frankly isn't 'extreme' by any stretch of the imagination.

They do get far too much leave though.

 

I've just written to Tony B proposing you as Education minister NT

This is a wind-up for chuff's sake. If you want to be serious bugger off and do it somewhere else.

You should see my daughter sometimes

when she comes in after a shift teaching "special needs children" having often been bitten, spat on, screamed at Etc Etc. She has a shower , then almost without exception falls asleep in the chair........ Every year she has session of going to quit, not worth the effort, but she is still there still at it AND nobody better say anything about special needs children (never kids) in her hearing or else watch out............

 

When I did youth work this angelic looking girl only about
