Once again, teachers are moaning about this, that and the other. I don't like the ongoing austerity measures, but they are necessary. Stop moaning about earning £22,000 a year and getting 13 weeks holiday a year. If you're not happy, go and work in a factory for 50 hours a week at £6.19 an hour with 4 weeks holiday per year.

I just wish the many people who knock teachers on this site would go and do a day in a secondary school and then come back and say what a doddle it is.

If you hated school and back then thought teachers were a bunch of moaning ba$tards then that wipes all of your comments clean of considered adult thought I'm afraid.

Prude, my post about my schooldays and teachers being 'moaning ba5tards' was merely a nod to the title of my OP. I'll try to spell things out a bit more clearly for you next time, love ;)

Don't bother, I hadn't realised you were so rude. Don't call me love either thanks.

I taught in a Primary School for nearly 32 yrs and can honestly say that I loved every minute. It is the most rewarding career imaginable. It was my life. The bond that you build with pupils and the thrill you get when you see them growing in confidence and knowledge is immeasurable. I honestly couldn't believe that I was getting paid so much for doing something that I loved. I think part of the problem today is that some people enter the teaching profession without the proper love and commitment to the job.

The last 17 years of my working life was spent as a school caretaker in a primary school.
I had numerous days when I could not get into the classrooms to clean them after school because of the teachers who stayed behind marking the days work and preparing work for the following day.
Even then, more often than not, they would take home bags of work as well.
Most teachers were back at school early the next day, not to mention working in their classrooms during the school holidays clearing up previous terms work and getting ready for the new intake in the new term
During my term of employment I lost count of the folders I threw away when we had new curriculum come through for the teachers to learn, not to mention all the personal things which went on in their pupils' lives.
How some of those teachers managed 30 different pupils every day, I'll never know. I must admit I use to feel sore about them being paid twice as much as me, if not more, but I think they earn every penny.

Loved school and even though I am deaf - went to mainstream. However I could have been institutionalised in a deaf school - as my first name was Joan on the little placard around your neck - when in fact I answered to Connemmara. Teacher sent for my mother and said she is not answering to her name Joan so is unteachable her (ie primary school) - fortunately my mother pointed out my real name and I went on to achieve many things ie became a Civil Service manager etc etc. I do think my deafness did keep me back from doing so much more- sorry for digressing here. Loved all my teachers from beginning to end.

My nephew is a teacher, in fact a head of department at a large comprehensive school. After listening to his latest diatribe concerning how my generation should just die to leave something for the next generation I am just thankful that he didn't teach my daughter. Apart from that his qualifications for teaching were dire and my old teachers would have considered him a joke.
