Teachers today

An even better one would be moving abroad.

I moved abroad. Best thing I ever did.

I would have done so years ago, but wife won't go.

I don't think I can stand this awful country any more though, so I may have to go without her - with the stupidly-low cost of flying these days we could still get together at the weekends - which is about the only time we see each other anyway.

Your mate made a good decision. An even better one would be moving abroad.

He did.

Why not?

Easier life?

Being able to deal with absolute **** bags of kids from inner cities doesn't make you a good teacher, it just makes you good at dealing with **** bags.

If you want an easy life, you don't become a teacher.

Your original suggestion implied not starting to teach in an inner city school. So at what stage should teachers move there?

Granted, but there are degrees of easiness aren't there. My missus started her teaching in a not too rough mixed comp. I think it was a good grounding, and she coped well - even when a particularly nasty little tulip started targeting her outside of school.

She now teaches in an all girls convent school, where she's bored by the lack of rebellion in the kids.

That's not what I meant.

I meant don't ever teach there if you don't want to have to deal with the feral scumbags that inhabit most of them.

My cousin is just doing his first job in a very rough school, he's finding some amusement in it all at the moment but 6 months in he's applying for private schools. He went for the extra year as a student lazy option, I'll give him 3 years teaching tops !

Weirdo.

Good point, although I've just remembered they let boys into the 6th form (or year 13 or whatever it's called now).
