To think teachers are actually better off than those in the private sector

[coco44]

(Mumsnet Bosses
Please may I rephrase the debate in a more measured way)

Coco where have teachers said that they are the only ones who have it hard?

I don't think I have it had at all tbh. I had the common sense to choose a job that allows me to enjoy my life rather than working every hour God sends and getting stressed.

Ah, x posted.

And what teaching experience have you got?

If you are a bovine vet, don't you get paid for tb tests? So don't you take my money, as tax payer?

Anyone can stick their hand up a cow's arse, surely?

"if I treated my clients the way, teachers are treating theirs, I wouldn't have a business."

Who are teachers' clients?

I suspect the average vet is cleverer than the average teacher. Well done OP.

There is so much ambiguity in that outline of your job, OP.

Teachers also work unsociable hours! When do you. Think they get their marking, planning, reports, assessments, schemes of works, resources prepared.... done? Jesus! Go shadow a teacher for a week... if you can last that long! Shadow not just at school but go home with them too. Jesus!!

Bovine vet?

God that's a piss easy job. Fart arsing about in fields and sticking your hand up cows arses. Then whining about a bit of mud and dirt.

Job for failed medics isn't it?

(See, we can all play that game OP )

I don't know any bovine vets who do no ministry work.

Hoist, op, by your one petard.

To be fair I would rather teach year 7 about the Battle of Hastings than stand in a cold field in the middle of the night with my hand up a cow's arse. I can see why you are bitter.

this strike has really peed me off

Good!

It is supposed to 'pee you off'. Doh!

Now are you going to moan about it or write to your MP?

Bit silly to just sit there complaining when you actually have the power to do something about it.

I for one want to applaud the OP. How on earth after all the threads on here tonight can you remain so clueless? What do you do OP? I hope reading and digesting the written word isn't part of your job! And maybe folks OP has been let down by education and cannot access some of the brilliant, clear, erudite responses written by other more articulate posters than me. I'm off to drink wine, put my feet up and not do any planning or preparation, cos that's just a big fat whingeing lie. I might even have another whinge about how bad my lot is compared to my DH and his private sector job. You know the one where his employers pay twice what he pays into his pension, give him private medical care, private health insurance, company car etc. He works damned hard for this. But so do I for all I get.

You have asked for a debate but don't seem to have anything to say. A most disappointing effort. Must try harder! x

janey I think you mean sticking your hand up cows fannies

I think she works in a coal mine or summat.

"if I treated my clients the way, teachers are treating theirs, I wouldn't have a business."

You'd have some cows with shit hot GCSE results, though.

Bovine vet?! So you get paid a small fortune to stick your arm up cows' arses? Bloody hell I thought you were going to say you were a female James Bond or something. I'm really disappointed now...

Being a cow vet is very obviously easier than being a teacher

2 can play at this game with spurious, unintelligent comments.

I don't think our replies are moo-sic to OP's ears, though.
