Well said Tolm.Our daughter is also a Teacher working in Brum.There is no such thing as a 35 hour week or whatever their contracts stipulate.Many a time when she works around the clock at home with marking and planning and raising a family.Also pisses me off when I hear people going on about an easy life with all those holidays like the kids get.If I wasn't doing my usual social distancing, I'd have chinned someone today, such is my utter disgust for this witch hunt on teachers.
As for that splash in today's Daily Mail, they should be fucking ashamed, but they are too busy self-congratulating themselves on a daily basis for getting PPE donations.
My wife has been going in and teaching every week to at-risk kids, special needs and those of key workers.
For anyone to suggest it is time for teachers to start pulling their weight, I've never been so fucking angry.
My wife has put herself at risk, knowing full well what risks that might also have on our own family.
She has struggled to cope with less than 15 pupils this week and teachers absolutely must be backed in their stance of wider risks for a greater populous back in schools.
She has performed amazingly, as have our own kids teachers, sending work every day on line, setting up class room chats, checking on mental well-being.
My kids are working as hard as ever and that is down to their teachers.
I back our teachers to the hilt - fuck those who dress it up as an economy saver getting them and kids back.
This is emotional blackmail.
Thankfully, parents will be on the same page as the teachers and the government will be in for a nasty shock soon.
My kids won't be going anywhere until September at the earliest.
I give the fuckers both barrels when I hear that shite.
