Teachers seem to have an uncanny knack of doing things the hard way. My missus is a teacher and each Summer and Christmas she sets exams for her pupils.
However when it cones to marking them it always takes her ages because instead of ensuring that the total marks available for the exam are 100 or a figure which easily multiplies up to 100 she always leaves it that total number of marks available is some obscure number so that she has to use a calculator to work out the percentages for each pupil.
There's no doubt about it if there's a hard way and an easy way to do something teachers will always pick the hard way.
Once again, Mighty has interjected with what appears to be a complete stream of consciousness with no regard to the other important topics going on all around him. Teachers do an important job in difficult circumstances and so what if they have to use a calculator to add up their pupils' marks. Time for peace. Time for Mighty Quinn to Go. You are not the funniest person on this board. Please refrain from using it to think out loud.
Funny I sort of sussed when you set up the poll against me that you were probably a teacher so I set up this thread to flush you out. Typically you jumped to the bait. Is it any wonder that kids can still run rings round you all. ;D ;D
Huh? What do you mean kids run rings around you all?
...and judging by the time you obviously have to think up and then set up your inane ramblings about people like Bono who is a fantastic person and Gerry Ryan who is the housewives' choice, I'd say it's a fair bet you're one of the half million yes HALF A f**king MILLION layabouts who 'work' in the Civil Service. My source for the statistic because as you all know, Seany only deals in FACTS, is from the link below.
http://www.civilservice.gov.uk/about/statistics/archive/2003/numbers.asp
Well given that I admitted that I was a Civil Servant on my earlier ' Is the Civil Service Shite' poll ( which proves that unlike teachers we can enjoy a joke at our own expense) it didn't take a genius to work that one out.
You can also check out the times of my postings and you'll see that I never post during working hours which for the Civil Service is 9 to 5 and don't knock off at 3.30 like you crying cnuts.
As regards your statistics you can shove them, its a well known fact that regardless of how shite a teacher is they can't be got rid of. They are accountable to no one.
Teachers are bollixes they don't live in the real world because a high number of teachers marry teachers, they socialise with teachers (who the phuck would want to go out with them) so they meet no one else in life except teachers and schoolchildren. How's that for a sad existence
What makes you think I am a teacher?
Once again you are running to conclusions and jumping to them as quickly as the Civil Service did in the Arms in Iraq case, all of which has caused us untold misery with international terrorism and the Iraqi conflict. Well done lads. Though the Civil Service is now doing a better job of ruining the system from within by 'losing' disks with people's intimate details on them. it would suit you better Mighty to check under your desk to see if you left those disks at your arse rather than posting unfunny nonsense. The big question is; WHat piece of incompetence from the Civil Service will hit the news next week?' ANy truth in the rumour that you each have a deck of cards in your drawer, just in case the computers go down and you have to play Solitaire on your desk?

:) I'd say that goes down well in the your family.
There are a high percentage of teachers who have their heads up their arse - it's no coincidence that those type of people are drawn to the profession.
The fact that you bursted your hole to leap to the defence of teachers would indicate that you're in that profession as I don't see too many others wanting to defend you, particularly in the run up to Christmas when, regardless of the impact on working parents you let kids off for half days and study days etc. I don't know what will happen in the Civil Service over the next week, however I can be sure that unlike you lazy cnuts at least we'll be at work and not off from now until mid January

I know a couple of male nurses and they'd be outraged at that.
Thankfully my missus wasn't a teacher when I met her and only became a teacher some years later after doing the one year PGCE course. By that stage we had kids and she wanted a handy number. She hasn't therefore had the 4 year brainwashing course that you all get in St Mary's. As for you I'd say you are married to a teacher given that on a Saturday night you've nothing better to do that play on your computer. Me, I'm off out to the pub for a feed of pints that would burst a horse. Bye bye

Well only O'Neill really.
But I do know quite a few teachers and I'd say at least half of them are like that.
With you being in constant contact with teachers, would you agree or disagree with that view?
Nope. I'd say she is too busy using her calculator adding up the percentages.
I'd say she'd use any excuse to get out of having to go to bed with Mighty Quinn. he seems the most intolerable bollox on the board. 'Sorry pet'no sex tonight. it's these percentages. They have to be done. I have to multiply 65 by 1.78435 in order to get a mark out of one hunderd and then a comment and then a place in class and then a class average... No sex tonight'.
Pah! Teachers .. the sons (and now daughters) of the pig-ownng class of Ireland...!!! anti-intellectual sdlp shites

Like in any profession/trade you meet all sorts and it is unfair to make sweeping statements. The vast majority of teachers are hardworking people who want the best for the children their care. I can't say that teaching attracts a particular personality type. The workforce is usually a reflection of the nature of the economy at any point in time. However, I respect your experience and opinion.
I'm not saying there aren't good teachers, there are a lot.
Though I do think that if you'll find a lot of people in teaching who are arrogant, head stuck up their arse, think they're in some high and mighty job when we all know if they would struggle in any other job.
Well Seany you really shot yourself on the foot on this one. Like your poll on the me Quinn, your support for teachers is going down the tubes.
Hope you had a nice evening in by your computer, I'll bet you're a phucking Pioneer as, like most teachers you'd be too miserable to buy drink.
I loved your quote 'Seany only deals in facts.' Anyone you refers to himself in the third person is an arrogant bollix.The only two people I can recall doing it are Paisley and Johnny Adair.
What a strange thread to start! Have you nothing better to be up to? It's neither funny nor clever.
Teachers play an important role in society and should be respected by all.
I note the time of your last post, Mighty. 4.41am. Obviously fond of a few, are we? I don't suppose I'll get an answer to this post until about 5 today when you have finally slept off the hangover paid for by taxpayers' money. The Civil Service. Living proof of the maxim 'something for nothing'. One of the biggest ironies is the dole office where the people looking for jobs are probably doing more work than those morons behind the glass. And all these fancy titles you give yourselves; Staff Officer, Executive Officer, EO1, EO2, Under Secretary, Clerical Assistant, Clerical Officer. Catch yourselves on. At least a teacher is a teacher, a nurse is a nurse, a doctor is a doctor. They don't have to award themselves silly inane titles to make themselves sound important.
QuoteTeachers play an important role in society and should be respected by all.

Oh here's a teacher.
Remember what I said;
QuoteThough I do think that if you'll find a lot of people in teaching who are arrogant, head stuck up their arse, think they're in some high and mighty job when we all know if they would struggle in any other job.
I've no time for teachers myself. Far too many of them are so used to talking down to kids that they take the same approach while outside the class room and dealing with adults.
My own experiences at school weren't good but I know they aren't all bad.
Was out for a few bevvies last night and there was a party of Teachers in the pub as well. You could tell they were teachers straight away as they had a kitty which they had to keep topping up with a fiver a time as they were too miserable to start it off with a £20 note in case they mightn't get their full money's wqorth. They kept insisting that everybody form an orderly queue at the bar and every so often one or two of them would launch a raid on the toilets to check if there were any smokers in the cubicles.
One of the waitresses dropped a tray of empty glasses and as true as God's in heaven they started to cheer. Tossers

Sure if I wasn't picking on teachers who would I be picking on!! This started as a general comment about my missus but as usual the teachers all had to leap in and defend their profession. Its not the profession I'm knocking its those who are employed in it.
It is now against the law to smoke in toilets so they were well within their rights.

Ach you're just jealous lads. We go in to work at 9am. Take a break at 11 for a while then 1230 for an hour or so. Throw in another hour off free. Tell the boys to read on if you don't fancy talking and read the horses. Home by 330. Sleep for a wee while. Then frig about til 12am - drinking, running, sleeping. Do that 5 times a week. Then take a couple of weeks off about four times a year, then two months when it's too hot to sit in a room. Do a bit of spreading or building over the summer to supplement our already healthy wage with another few hundred (undeclared) for the other jobs. Sure we'll live til we're 100.

Take TYP - he sits in an office with a big leather settee to lie on and asks the secretary to take this down in shorthand "MEMO TO STAFF - Whoever took the muffins from my thinking quarters please leave them back. I'm always watching'. He drinks tea all day and practises golf in the board room. He earns so much he has a personal masseur in the office and has been getting botox since he was Vice Principal. He looks 33 but can actually remember Pearl Harbour. He has property all over the continent.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! The great sons and daughters of the Pig Owning class of 17th Century Ireland. The easy option if you had a slight bit of intelligence (and friends in the SDLP). Some of the thickos who I have met who wouldn't last five minutes in the private sector and who now teach kids!
