Have just bought a car in a private sale.
I know that seller can change ownership to me online now but at what stage can. I tax it. Immediately or must I wait for the tax book to arrive ?

Statement from INTO this morning. School teachers being balloted in September for strike action for more money and reduction of workload.

We await Barnster's opinion when he gets up.

Shock teachers on the drink on a Sunday.

Tell us what them bad aul teachers did on you at school ...

Barnster hates teachers

I know schools prepare for them, do they guess the correct week?

Like any organisation prepares for them but you didn't get the facts right. 😂😂

You know I did, do you put smiles on the papers you slog over in the evenings or is it still pass to left and let the child mark.

I know you did what

That's the week they get notice for and the whole school goes buck daft to prepare, yeah that would fit the accountability criteria.

Would be a good idea if you got the facts right instead of making them up 😂😂😂

Oh dear head in sand time.

Not at all. You just don't know how the inspection process is carried out but pretending you do

And therein is the crux of the problem, when you are in you are in, no accountability whatsoever, any issues its the disgruntled parents issue or the incapable child.

So they have a system in place, I brought it up earlier, it may not be the answer you are looking for but
ETI inspect schools and sit in classes during a week, they report what they see and those findings are public knowledge.

So if I go to school and teach and go home afterwards am I doing my job? What is it they ain't doing? Or what are you talking about?

It is years between ETI cycles.

The missus has a teacher in her school who doesn't pull her weight and it is reflected in exam results compared to other subjects. She'll keep working there for as long as she wants.

Who is deciding that she doesn't pull her weight ?

Wheels seems to have come off in Omagh in recent weeks.. have they injuries or what, was Meyler back last night?

Conor still in the United States. Arriving home next Saturday morning.

What's keeping him? His Fianna team mate home during the week there.

And the seniors have bate the Rahillys

That's the week they get notice for and the whole school goes buck daft to prepare, yeah that would fit the accountability criteria.

Teachers are inspected every day of the week by parents.

What a stupid comment that is. Do parents then decide the salary increase of the teacher, do parent give the teacher formal coaching conversations or disciplinary if required? Sure school principals cannot even address poor performance levels.

Milltown, you ask for a definition of a poor teacher. It's the same as a poor welder, a poor mechanic etc. Disinterested , no pride in their work, lack of attention to detail, poor communication skills, poor organisational skills. Bottom line = poor results. The difference is the poor welder has repercussions.

Nothing stupid about it. Do you have opinions on teachers who would have taught you or family? Would you have shared those views with others? Teachers are aware that their performances are discussed routinely by parents and are judged accordingly.

And if they are deemed inadequate what are the consequences, genuine question.

Don't know any teacher deemed inadequate. Any teachers I know or have worked with are working to the required standard. The problem we all have  are some disgruntled parents who can't accept that their children are finding it difficult to reach the expected standard for their age despite the best efforts of the teacher and any learning support that are in place. Emphasis on some parents. The vast majority of parents are appreciative of the efforts that are being made for their child. It's just a few and of course it's everybody's fault that their child is not reaching the level that they would like them to.
