Teachers get it handy!

[marty34]

We bit the bullet and got a Teacher to help out. She does an hour 3 days a week on Zoom making sure the eldest is keeping on top of things.

Keep at the spellings!

Is this one of the teaching staff that were on summer holidays during the first lockdown?

Poacher turned gamekeeper!!

These bloody special needs kids, educate yourselves for god sake and make sure the teachers are 100% safe..

I know your up north but there's more chance of teachers down south injecting themselves with covid than doing that. They truly are the greatest patriots putting their small risk of catching covid above those of special needs kids.

The special needs schools are open in the north

[Itchy]

I wasn't referring to the North, you boys think its funny but down south its far from funny watching these teachers unions show themselves for the selfish self centred pricks they are. The INTO the latest, shouting down expert advice on a call today and refusing to go to work on Thursday in a limited opening for special needs kids. Disgusting.

Very poor carry on from the teacher unions

Any employee is entitled to health and safety and promotion of health and safety is properly the business of a union representing its members.  Note that the politicians that are criticising the teachers are down in the conference centre at great expense to make sure that they do not come with 5m of each other.

Load of bollox. These people want certainties that they wont get covid and nonsense like testing of kids at every school. Nothing will pacify them and thats the point. They dont want to go to work, they dont care about the kids and the only care about themselves. They are also peddling the notion that they can work as well at home as they can at school which is more bullshit when half of them can barely work a computer.

They are a national embarrassment (look at other countries) and when this is over the respect that teachers were once held in society will be in tatters and rightly so. When I look out there its nurses, doctors, factory workers and retail workers that are the heros of society. People that rolled up their sleeves and worked for the greater good of society. I have people in a medical device company making critical products trying to take unpaid leave to stay home and teach  their kids.
They should all be put on the covid payment with immediate effect.

Plenty of workers are continuing to work through the pandemic, factories, supermarkets, etc. How are teachers different?

Supermarket staff are enclosed in perspex and customers in supermarkets are expected to wear masks, although shamefully some supermarkets do not protect their staff in this regard. By and large teachers are not enclosed in perspex nor are their customers expected to wear masks.

Reading some of the comments on here I can only be thankful for the great teachers our kids have....

First class throughout the lockdowns...

More pressure on us as parents as we balance work/teaching/life....I'll not target teachers....especially after the months of teaching we've had to do.....more respect now than ever

Its a good babysitter a few would need....instead of teacher bashing....

Oh yes you can't say anything about teachers or your a teacher basher. Getting as bad as the Jews and anti semitic. A national embarrassment,  wont even go back for special needs kids in the south as they have in North.
