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

Ranty,

It shit me up, TBH Spangled.

are they remaking Don't Look Now? I didn't like Donald Sutherland's joy of sex type frolicking in the original I must say

I don't like him much anyway: he's got creepy eyes.

Understandable tethersend

You have got a point there ninah

he's got a really bony arse too

Jesus, does Mr C still use chimneys? Could he not join the modern world and use portals or something?

Don't take sall children out on Halloween, especially if they are wearing a red duffel coat. That would be mad.

I like him. In a 'I shouldn't but I do' sort of way.

not bony, sinewy. And very white

Right. Confused now. Who has a bony arse - Jude Law, Donald Sutherland, or Father Christmas?

I like him.

And accidentally put your toddler in a red coat or came up with the best no effort Halloween costume ever. Fuck sewing.

Umm. DH teaches -because he has a " day off " tomorrow to sing in a concert he is doing marking and prep still (23.46). I am mums netting because I worked a " half day" in the health service starting at 8 and leaving at 3. If I worked full time as well our kids old have had to bring themselves up.

and Spangled - who do you like? Jude Law, Donald Sutherland, or Father Christmas?

All those mince pies it can't be Father Christmas.

DS. I should think FC has a rosy, rotund arse

Hmmm

Just a wild shot in the dark but...

Maybe they're training....

In how to teach your children?

Donald. Definitely not Jude. Too 'the pretty boy that isn't' for my liking

I think we can safely rule out FC as having a bony arse? Surely?

If teachers weren't in inset they would be having part of their holiday and you would still need childcare....

But how about this for a plan...teachers do their training whilst simultaneously teaching your child....wonder if your child's learning will be affected by the fact that the teacher is trying to do somehing else at the same time?

But that would work for me...cos then I wouldn't need to arrange childcare for when I am at an inset day but my children are on their Christmas holiday...

That reminds me. Miracle on 34th Street. They should have left the original alone.

under the coallition anything is possible sp

They could be getting investment advice. On how to deal with all those squillions of £s they earn.

Reading this I have come to the conclusion that I shall now carry some PGCE/GTP application forms around with me at all times. I shall no longer respond with an answer to any bashing or snide remarks, they can just have a sheet. Then they can join me for coffee and cake on a weekday for 12 weeks a year.
