To wonder why...

[EvilTwins]

...on any given Education related thread, it is deemed acceptable for someone, at some point, to post something along the lines of

"I'm glad you're not my DC's teacher. I bet you're crap at your job" or "You're an embarrassment to your profession" or "You shouldn't be allowed to teach children".

I really riles me . No one says it about any other profession.

You must have missed a lot of threads then. I have seen; nurses, HV's, Midwives, solicitors and others openly critised. In some cases i sometimes do not believe some of the occupations that the posters are supposed to have as there is often a easily spotted lack of knowledge on some of the fundamental aspects of the job. Also not everyone is good at what they do.
