The complaining is way out of proportion to the risk’, ‘Teachers aren’t dropping like flies in Scotland.’, ‘Why should teachers be any different to everyone else?’, ‘I think teachers need to stop moaning if they want to stop @teacher bashing”. The risks are very small.’, ‘Seriously get a grip.

Absolutely ridiculous’,
