How anyone has the gall to call teachers lazy is beyond me. This decision was clearly made by the local authority.


Thatcher's Britain!

Blair/New Labour's Britain actually

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

and don't get me started on "teacher training days" - another excuse for time off? again no such thing in my day - why can't they have "training days" during their 13 weeks annual leave?

Again, a governing body that has no idea of what the real job entails makes these sort of decisions and these days compulsary. Don't blast the teachers for it. It takes them out of the classrooms and away from teaching kids, which is the reason they studied to be teachers in the first place. There's more bureacracy in teaching than teaching itself these days. Do you really think the majority of teachers are happy with that. Like I said, the 13 weeks they get off aren't entirely a life of luxury. They spend a good deal of time getting things sorted for when the school reopens and a fair few of them spend the last few weeks back at school planning and getting clasrooms sorted for the next term/academic year. And the first few training days of the year ARE done when the kids are still on summer holidays.
YAWN!! 13 WEEKS HOLIDAY FFS

YAWN!! Sounds like you had 52.
 
Alib's obviously just a sad troll who's jealousy is overcoming him today. Ignore him and he'll go away.

Do you happen to be a teacher Joycee?
 
Haha no I don't, PIB. Most of my family are. Thought about it, but they advised me not to as it just isn't worth it. When I think of teh amount of shit I used to give teachers, I cringe.
