TEACHERS

Got a few on my FaceBook and they all hoping it Snows again this week coming so that they dont have to go in to School. But they still get paid tho. I reckon that what ever ammount of days they have off cos of the Snow they sould be made to pay back in the SIX weeks they have off. They dont know they born Teachers I tell you ........

and the upheaval it causes for mums and dads who have jobs and manage to get to their jobs but can't because they got to look after the Children who can't go to school! madness!

If everyone was self employed the change in this countries work ethic would be incredible

So true............

You Right Cheggers was on here the other day saying how this Snow is affecting him.

My mrs is a teacher and i will be honest here, she cant wait to get back. Since after the xmas hols she has done a day and a half work. due to "the snow"

But to be fair she has been doing a lot of her work at home, with marking work, and lesson planning. So its not as if she has done naff all. she has done her teachers job at home. So i will disagree with the post above. Yes they do have an awful lot of holidays again work is still being done in the holiday period.

I wish I was a little more intelligent because i too would become a teacher. WOULDNT YOU???

You know what its all down too tho dont you, "health and safety" and where theres a blame theres a claim, thats the culture our country is looking too.....

Bad times bad bad times

You're only sticking up for her cos she has got a part time job on full time wages mate, And she getts all you washing and cooking done oh and as she has so much time on her hands she most prob is up for it more often... So no wonder you backing her Lol.

Why aren't you a teacher then, if it's such an easy job?

Haa haa you know me so well fair play, has for part time job on full time wages totally disagree, she only travels 10 mins away, and shes at school for 20 past 8 and dont get in til gone 5,

I aint sticking up for her, I do honestly see what she does, as for so much time on her hands and being up 4 it, she is always up 4 it thats teachers for you haa haa

I am able to comment views from both sides:

Believe me being in school all day with 30 kids in one classroom and not being "allowed" to let them go out to play as the "ice" is lethal is bloody nightmare - kids need to get out and play - even prisoners are allowed to go outside for n hour a day for exercise and freshair!

Simple answer the County ensures they have a supply of grit/salt for schools to enable the playground and paths to be safe to go to school. Next winter each school has a grit box on site to use and be replenished when need be.

This country has gone soft to the snow years ago we would be made to walk to school even if we got there an hour late and had to leave early - we attended!

As a parent them being home drives me mad the kids get bored but i just kit them up and get them out - and just tell them "watch you don't slip" - if they do fall then its tough get up rub ya bum keep going lol

And whatever you is said about taking days off in the 6 weeks holidays - it wont happen. All the lessons missed through snow/ice days will have to be made up for over the weeks.


People have the opinion that teachers got it easy working - 9-3 mon-fri and having all the holidays off - that is a myth - behind the scenes there is so much more and every week staying late for meetings and other itineries - planning - home marking - sorting special need and basic support for pupils who do not have home input - teaching is so much more than standing in a classroom teaching children!

P.S. I am not a teacher

couldnt agree with you more spot on comment.....

I agree with Jez too. I'm actually a pupil right now, in sixth form. I'd love to be a teacher when you consider pay, holidays etc it's quite a good deal. I wouldn't be one because there's no way I could cope with the pupils but our teachers, especially now we're in sixth form, tend to talk to us properly a lot more. Regularly whinge about not getting home until 5ish and then planning lessons/marking/some sort of other work until 8/9. I live a fair bit away from my school too so I catch a bus, which means I'm there by quarter to 8 most days when it starts at half 8. Almost every teacher is already there.

Its a joke - stop their feckin wages and they wud soon make an effort. Lazy barstewards

But she will go out and do the shopping
just think of all the shop workers who have make there own way through deep snow just so the teachers can do there shopping, they should not be paid if they dont make a effort to to get in better late than never.

I am not a teacher, however, you dont have to be as intelligent as you would think, to qualify. Not that I dont admire what they do thou.

I had three days off last week due to snow - I didn't ask for them. I have also never informed the school I work for that I couldn't get there because of the poor weather. The Council closed all schools in the borough - nothing to do with the teachers or the headteacher.
Also, please remember that if you sent your child to school and he'she was to fall and injure him/herself then you'd be straight around the solicitors to put in a claim. Can't blame the headteachers or the councils for keeping schools closed!

Still have to get a degree, and then go through teacher training after that I think though

I don't think I would really consider going into teacher training after spending 3/4 years doing a degree

I think the point is you shouldn't get paid.

f**k being a teacher, the salary is shit.

she does all he rshopping online, coz she cant be arsed to go to the supermarket like she cant be arsed to get into school when the councils have closed it

Why shouldn't I get paid? Not my fault that school is closed

Lots of people in the private sector wouldn't. Why should you be any different ?

Because he doesn't work in the private sector?

What a bizarre argument people start when it relates to teachers.
