I'm a teacher not a bloody babysitter!

[Rosieeo]

So SO annoyed by the guy on BBC News 24 just now who suggests that if teachers can't get to the school they teach at because of snow, they should go to the nearest school and set up 'some kind of a crèche facility'!

How much would you pay a person to look after thirty kids for five hours a day? £8 per hour, per child? Then fantastic, bring it on!

Are teachers simply glorified babysitters? Am I being unreasonable to be so annoyed by this?

was a tongue in cheek comment about the babysitting. Havent got a problem with beign at work yesterday but with 22 children ranging from 4 -11 it wasnt going to be a normal teaching day was it, so to be honest it was babysitting - and that was fine by me.
