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.

True. But what about Dr Who ?

In your world he would be a teacher. Can you imagine a BBC series called Mr Who (3rd Year arts)

I was on that plane. Wasn't that the one where the doc gave the pilot a jab that reversed his early-onset demetia and memory loss, allowing him to carry on and land the plane safely

I was on a plane once and the pilot announced that he had forgotton how to fly the plane and was there anyone on board who could teach him?

I remember being on a plane once. There was an announcement
'This is the captain,we have a bit of an emergency on the plane, if there are any teachers on board would you please make yourself known to the cabin crew. Thank you'

Teachers need to be paid more than doctors. The work they do is far more valuable than that of doctors. However teachers should also be fully accountable and education dictated by consumer choice. If people were better educated they would be healthier (fewer doctors), wouldnt need welfare and crime would all but disappear.

A deadly strain of swine fever might be the best thing that's happened in the UK since Maggie.

He's going back to being a carer for autistic dudes, up in Edinburgh.
Not much pay, not much career, but not much stress either

Dont.
My son in law finished the training and started his probationary year last september. He is 33 and went to a nice school up in Edinburgh, he had a couple of weeks off with severe stress and finally jacked it in last week.

the kids are out of control, uncontrollable and run riot. They are nice sweet 10-11 year old mostly middle class.
