Teachers today

[bogeyman]

Carry on reading the Daily Mail, folks, all the insight you'll ever need.

Well, that and CUK of course.

Have to agree though. If anyone needs a union it's teachers.

Must be one the most badly paid, under-valued, stressful and downright dangerous occupations to have these days.

A mate of mine left the Square Mile with big ideas of 'giving something back' and trained to be a teacher.

After the initial suspicion and skepticism (what? a Man wanting to teach kids - he must be paedo or some kind of nonce!) he went though teacher training - which was horrible, and working as a supply teacher (even worse).

He eventually saw sense and now works happily at JP Morgan Chase.

my Mrs is a teacher, and is thinking of not going back from Maternity. she loves teaching, but the amount of bulls**t that goes with it doesnt make it worth it any more.

I think it's terrible.

Teachers are part of the bedrock of any society and they get treated like dirt.

Respect to your missus, old boy.

Taken slighty out of context I think

This is CUK - what's wrong with you?

[Ardesco]

Married to a teacher as well so I have to stand up for them what!

My Mrs packed in on having kids and I'm hoping won't have to worry about going back once the kiddie winks are secondary school age. If I can still earn a half decent crust then it's not worth the hastle for what they get paid.

her getting pregnant is the reason i started contracting last year! she can do as she likes now.

i ahted ehr being a teacher. the stories i heard of what the kids where like really got to me. there was one kid who constantly asked her for kisses and made sexual advances to her. the school didnt nothing. i wanted to murder this kid and slap him all over, but obviously that would only reflect on her!

she has caught kids filming up her skirt with mobiles, been racially abused and threatened, abused by parents for giving little sh*ts detentions etc. not the worth £22k a year she was on after 3yrs of teaching. nothing is worth the lack of support she got from her employers.

her starting teaching gave me a while new respect for the profession and i dont know how anyone can do it with twating any kids!

Oh dear.

Where exactly are you pulling these 'facts' from SueEllen?

Granted, the number of practising Christians vs 'armchair' Christians may be rather low, but I feel our Muslim brothers and sisters are somewhat more observant of their creed.

I noticed you lived in Oxford so I take it you do get to mix with people who are not all White and/or Christian.

Well I was brought up in Inner London (granted in a borough that is 70%), have family that is a mixture of religions and was schooled and socialised with people who are a mixture of religions. BTW I still live in London.
