Off Topic The SIR Kenny Dalglish Public House

I've obviously had numerous chats with my eldest about this, who's just about to start her second year in teaching. It is a very demanding job and she's not a whinger. Even at Merchant Taylor's, there are ****s It seems wealthy parents don'r automatically mean inherited intelligence and application

 

Maybe not, but they've probably got some half decent manners in the main.

 

it depends on the parents.

guessing you are a posh twat with a comment like that

 

Not many who really know me would ever describe me as posh mate.

Some who don't might make that assumption though.

I was generalising btw, and it's a fair generalisation as well I reckon.

 

It was tongue in cheek, but I hope you knew that

 

A higher percentage than in State schools, but she's got a couple who are absolute ****ers (very small classes, though).

 

Oddly enough, that never occurred to me either.

You don't have to be posh to have manners, anyway- just decent.

 

I I wanted to use your 'hated word' then, just for the sake of it

 

Which one? There are so many.....

 

It is wrong to generalise as if you've not done the job you really don't know how hard or easy it is and end up speculating. You are right that there are good and bad though some do **** all and just wing it every day. Others though work extremley hard for the benefit of the children and deserve every penny they get.

From full time education to working in it? Yes because they worked hard in school/Uni so that they could have a good job, nothing wrong with that.

Time management comment is way off as there is no opportunity to do the planning/marking within the school day, it has to be done in their own time. My wife did have a holiday but worked more or less full time hours for 3 of the 6 weeks.

 

Bit like football management.

 

I certainly think that if pushed Jimmy really does think he can do a better job than most managers.

 

****

 

I can judge football managers.

I know that a £300mill investment by the way is more than enough to take the former Chester City FC all the way to the top of the Premier League in back to back seasons. I know because I've done it on the computer... lol.

 

Exactly right and I wouldn't argue.

But my point was more about the attitude of some (note some) towards their lot, rather than what they are being paid. I know loads of teachers btw and a number of my relations are also teachers and I've had the same conversation with some of them. (which went well )

 

Yeah I imagine the all agreed with your point of view.

 

theres 3 things about teachers

1. they see it as a highly professional position, just like the bank managers or polcie officer or whatever the old school day of yore... they see it as the respected piller of the community.... This is something unions see at least don't know about the ordinary teacher. Any one i've ever met is as down to earth and nice with my yuong kids... unitl the union get involved

2. They want respect from the new professions. now a lot fo to uni compared to years ago and frnakly a lot look down on teachers who do masters etc to be qualified to do what they do they see others always saying they have it easy.

3. They all think its really hard and they deserve all they get.

The issue is nobody seems to deserve all the perks they accumulate in public service. do we really think these practices built up over time would be in existance if schools were private organsiations.


BTW.... at least you are dead... what are all the others excuses

 

The school my daughter teaches at IS a private organisation and she gets more perks that state school teachers

 

pay or conditions though RHC?

Does she get odd days off and all the training days and usual state stuff or does she work in a highly professional organisation serving rich parents and get well paid for it.

BTW.. good on her.

 

I'm sure she gets school trips to some lovely countries rather than the cardboard box company just down the road
