My better half was a primary teacher before we had kids. I can vouch for how hard some (see, I am not falling into the Abbot trap!) of them work.

All teachers at my children's school work very hard. A couple of stupid ones. I would not swap with them.

Over-paid, under qualified and far too many holidays.

Don't know their born Primary School teachers.

I think you were supposed to say how clever your wife is. Does she read the forum?

They are welcome to payback against you.

I am a half cast from Hawaii, currently working in USA contract runs out end of this year, hoping to get a 4 year extension, if the new guy Mitt doesn't get it.

i notice that whenever the issue of lazy/useless stupid teachers/lecturers gets mentioned there are one or two on here who immediately claim to know a few who work quite hard ---who are they? go on lets have their names or some evidence - otherwise quite frankly i dont believe it

My wife was a very hard working teacher before we had kids. You're attitude to teachers stinks of ignorance.

If you believe all teachers are lazy - go volunteer at a school for a day - then try and work out when the planning, marking, preparation for school trips, training, parents evenings, school plays, school governors meetings, SEN planning, music lessons, playground coverage, display preparations, policy reviews, clearing drug users needles from playgrounds, swimming lessons, etc, etc.

She should have said "rich and powerful" people.

The white poor were getting butt****ed by the rich long before the empire expanded to Africa and started making slaves. The fact that she has succeeded in pitching white against black when poor people are all in the same boat regardless of skin colour is a strong pointer as to which side of the struggle she's really on.

What about the mental suffering we white man have to suffer at the hands of black men and their 12" white women stealing penises? Where's our 40 acres and a mule!
