Teachers - you're 'avvin a laugh aintcha?

[mholdall]

Kids recently had a week off - half term. They were back this week then, guess what - teacher training day. Seriously, what I want to know is this: is there ANY other job in the country where you get:

• 13 paid weeks holiday a year
• Good pay
• Good pension (believe me, you do compared to people who do proper jobs in private sector - if you dont believe me, try it)
• And yet you still need these extra days to do some training. Training for what, exactly? Seriously, for what???? And how am I, as a parent, supposed to factor childcare in here.
• Oh, and you still do nothing but moan about pay, pensions etc
• Rant over

Martyrs often get bloody. Blood is often imvolved

so is your pgce application in the post then?

why not?

Why are they all the same, every last one of them? Homogeneous cloned teachy bastards

Why are people agreeing? But not with me? Bastards

involved, even

calm down dear it's not an intellect comp

ninah you have my sympathy, we are due for an inspection so we are on 'brown envelope'/scary phonecall alert......

I wish they'd just come and get it over with.........

ilovesooty maybe we need to shout louder? Or, randomly guess job and necessary CPD?

My guess. Owns a pet shop. CPD involves new cat shampoo?

tethersend was Father Christmas a martyr too?

The Wickerman should never have been remade.

I still find it hard to talk about.

I did have a "proper job" once, working in an office doing office things. I didn't enjoy it, got very bored.

Plus the holidays were rubbish.

Valpollicella I think I love you.

And I second your sentiment.

oh good luck nst
I wish they'd just arrive, you know. It's the lead time that's a pita.

Don't worry, my kids have well and truly drained what's left of my intellect. The OP did seem to think that teaching was an easy cop out for the intellectually less than perfect, though.

I am not sure why they bother remaking any of them. In fact, I would ask are there any remakes that should have been remade?

valpollicalla Good idea. To Kill a Mockingbird.

ILT - do you share my feeling that the OP doesn't have a job that requires CPD?

Shame really, with her being so bright and all .

Teacher bashing needs to stop, these teachers are providing our DC with an education and helping them become the next working generation. Something to be hugely thankful and appreciative for, if you ask me.

And after half a bottle of I'm very chilled, tyvm.

have you seen it tethers? I love the original

Yes, Father Christmas was a martyr too.

You should have seen the bloody footsteps all over the hearth last year. It was carnage.

Herbie Rides Again

The Italian Job. Not so much of a remake as a homage. But still. Travesty

And Father Christmas is bloody idle. After all he only works one day a year.

So should I leave some knives out? Wooden bit of pointy wood? I'm unsure of the protocol. Do I need a training day?

Footloose should never have been remade. I've not seen the remake but I can imagine.......
