to miss the thread where everyone was moaning about lazy teachers?

[acatcalledfidget]

There we go, carry on everyone. Teachers are crap because....

My routine blood test was cancelled today because the practise nurse couldn't get out of her road. Bloody lazy bint! I could be dead or something for all she cares while she wallows around enjoying the snow.

at Frogs' comment - love it. It sounds like the Daily Mail!

Teachers are crap because:
They actually care when lots of mothers insult and abuse them and really they should have developed harder hats and stronger stamina, after taking the same from Oftsed.

They are also crap because:
They don't get all of their pupils who arrive with Level 2 or below in yr 7 a Grade C

AND they fail to teach children manners.

And they tell LIES.

Goblin, even better, i'm on to the oil pastels {the red ones!}

AND they sometimes forget the names of some of the 34,526 students they teach daily! Duchess, you must be mistaken, it was only lazy teachers off work!

Teachers are crap because they are too strict, not strict enough, work kids too hard, don't work them hard enough, can't spell, can't pronounce words properly, might be gay, are too fat, too thin and aren't Parisians. Apart from male teachers of course who are merely eye candy for mums.

and because they wear suede or leather elbow patches

Teachers are crap because they didn't stop my DS from becoming pregnant/fat/gay/spotty/rubbish at sports/insert anything here.....

and they pick on the best children who are free spirits when that should be encouraged and have the cheek to ask the parents to take a little bit of interest in the fact that their child is on course for a U, when all along the child has been doing the right thing because they told the parent yes of course all my coursework is done so he must have done it and the teacher doesn't care and must just not be listening and the child always hated the subject anyway as they are too bright to be sat in the teachers class.......and the teachers always pick on him anwyay

Because they let all the awful, disruptive children in my little angel's class get away with murder but all gang up on my perfect baby (who is high spirited and gifted and needs special consideration) and keep giving him/her detentions FOR NO REASON.

I think the words 'Mary' 'Casting' and 'Nativity Play' can be thrown around on this thread too.

Teachers are crap because they eat cakes and chocolate in the staffroom confiscated from children's lunchboxes and make children eat cabbage. All teachers drink gin on playground duty and wear sunglasses in silent reading so they can have a quick nap.

it's also well known that every year a teacher picks on the nicest, most well-behaved child in the class and makes their life a misery forever - just because they CAN.

Oh and they judged my children even before they'd met them just because of their names, even though Chardonnay-Ikea-Tequilla-Bella and Cane-Adidas-WayneRooney-Lucifer are, like, so classy, innit?

Shouldn't you lot be planning lessons or something ?

Finally I agree with CaptainUnderpants

God we don't really do any planning. I pay the student over the road to do mine - 50p a lesson is the going rate.

captain, lesson planning is just a code for gin drinking really, we make the lessons up in the car drive in.

Pmsl Cornsilk. Mine are all planned AND we haven't been closed for a single bloomin' day because of the snow.

I did offer to pay my mum to do some marking for me though!

On BBC News 24 today there was a parent moaning about how businesses can open so why can't schools.

FFS businesses can operate without the full quota of staff.

If the teachers can't get in, and we can't even get down our road, it is unsafe to open the school if there aren't enough people to look after the kids.

lol yes
writing reports is code for a total weekend of alcohol abuse.

'we make the lessons up in the car drive in. ' - yes but only when the weather is conducive to do so

Pizza, I bet the parent was a MNer!

some teachers smoke, drink, swear, have children out of wedlock and don't have butter dishes.... BURN THEM!!!!!

No butter dish? That's just wrong.
