    Travellers don't travel.
    Care workers don't care.
    Teachers barely teach.

    Thats as I see it.

    Good article. Short and to the point. teachers are too soft these days. They can't even threaten to punish a student, because some stupid human rights group will try and sue them.

    It would be better to say 'teachers can barely be allowed to teach' because they do the best they can but their hands are tied by liberal policy makers.

    Also another one for your list - The police force are not allowed to police

    New age travellers travel.
    Care workers on the whole couldn't give a **** (if you pay peanuts you get monkeys).
    Teachers are ****ing clueless.

    My son was educated at an ordinary North London comprehensive and recently got a place at one of the top Uni's in the country, so I'd say that teachers can teach.

    Yeah yeah, & some travellers travel & I'm fairly sure there will be a considerate care working hiding out there somewhere.
    But, the big picture, small success stories outweighed by massive failure. Sad but true.

    Cheer up ffs, you're a Saints fan aren't you? You've suffered long enough, raise your face to the sunlit uplands.

    Anyway, teaching is at a much higher standard now than it was when I was at school. It's lazy to knock an easy target.

    Travellers don't travel: Why should they?

    Care workers don't care: Blatant generalisation.

    Teachers barely teach: Is the ability to barely teach, a mandatory qualification for educators?

    Your points have some validation - although I believe that, as usual 'the exceptions appear to be the rule'. However -
    Do we really want apathy to win all the time ? It always seems that the minority spoil it for the rest.

    Having just left school with a pretty good level of qualifications to go to one of the top Unis in the UK, I'd say teachers could teach...

    Just a minority of kids in some of the worst schools don't give a **** and only in them schools would teachers do **** all about it. Where I went to, you knew your place, and you knew what was expected of you. If you went out of line, you were punished. Simple.
