I would suggest that you do a bit more research before posting such rubbish ...

Oh sorry its CUK - the home of informed idiots.

I agree that some teachers are like that - but there is good and bad in all professions.

My daughter struggled at school and was in the bottom set for some of her subjects and as a result she was in classes which were often disrupted by the nob heads. Each and every parents evening we complained that she never seemed to get any homework. One teacher actually said

'well at the start of the year I gave out homework but they never did it so after a while I just stopped'

The impression I got was that those with the lower academic ability often got a teacher with no interest in teaching and was just there to maintain discipline. Also kids in the lower sets suffer from the highest turnover of teaching staff.

As for prepping lessons - I would have thought that once you had your syllabus down then it goes into maintenace mode. Each year you adapt it to take into account changes in the syllabus.
