The bit in bold I don't understand, it's not a big deal whether or not your child gets a degree. Your statement is a prime example of exactly what's wrong with the education system.

So you don't think it's a big deal if you get a degree or not in today's world?

If that's what someone wants then fair play to them but I don't think it's vital that you have one to succeed in life.

[Either do I,]

Either do I,I'd get bored with nothing to do for my 3 months a year holidays.

Written like a man that didn't pay much heed to his English teacher.

There was a leaf on her driveway that day,she wasn't able make it into school.
It's all good though as I'm sure she still got paid for the day.

Read my lips. My point is that teaching is a cushy number that any old eejit could do.

I don't think you could do it.

[and this thread is not about goals.]

A Benny Coulter goal for Mayobridge in a Down U-16 final against Liatroim Fontenoys in 1998. Best solo goal I have ever seen.

Watch from 1 minute 30 seconds into the clip.

Who was the fella from Clare who scored a ridiculous back heeled point a few years back?

Lads do ye nordies read at all? I blame your teachers.

Back heel was mentioned in the previous post and this thread is not about goals.

Its not muppet your right,but it's hard to stop the Nordie bunch once they get a chance to tell us all how great they are...

I always found the female teachers you'd meet in Flannery's or Copper Face Jacks a bit looser than the other women like the Nurses and Ban Gardai..
Though they were only good for the riding,you'd never dream of taking one home to meet the Mammy,thats what the Nurses were for..

True that, Quinns or McGowans on nights with St Pats class parties.....fish...barrel...shotgun!

Christ thats class,you'd swear he is joining the club not leaving..Do i detect a bit of regret from some of his expressions? I hope not!

[I ask again, if teaching is so handy then how come you're not all teachers?]

I ask again, if teaching is so handy then how come you're not all teachers?

I like to work for my wages.
I wouldn't want a handy job as I'd feel guilty for earning money for doing nothing..ie being a Teacher

I don't understand this planning lessons, for a first year teacher I understand but surely someone teaching years can use the same ones over and over again? I know the curriculum can change and that but it doesn't change that much ffs! 

Then there's the stuff you have to put up with during the day. Imagine you're put in charge of a room of 30 adolescents, maybe three of them want to work, half of them aren't terribly fussed, and then another three of them who are borderline psychotic and violent.  One of them disrupts your nicely planned lesson, you have to discipline him without laying a finger on him, and keep the rest of the class under control without screaming at the top of your lungs (because that would be a sure sign that you've lost it).  You put him outside the room and he's making gorilla noises, beating his chest and throwing himself up against the door, and half the class is laughing at him instead of learning.*  What do you do now, hmm? How would you deal with it? "Kick the crap out of him?" If you want to get fired, do time, and never work as a teacher again, go right ahead.

Dry them. Everyone has demands in their job, the trouble with teachers are they think they are the only ones.

A friend of ours is a primary school teacher up in Cavan.
One night we were all out together and I started winding her up about how easy her job was.
I may have went a little too far as she lost the plot and screams at me and says

You think I have it so easy but I'll have you know there was two nights this week that I didn't get home from work till after 5pm!!

At this stage even her husband told her to shut the f**k up and stop embarrassing herself and everyone else just fell around the place laughing at her..ah good times

Are these fuckwits on holidays again this week?
Whats the story with all the time off they get,should they not be making up time for all the days off they had because of the snow?
Useless f**king hoors they wouldn't know a hard days work if it hit them in the face.

Could be worse you could call out a f**king useless electrician to do a simple job & charge you a ridiculous price for crappy job.

Then if you were to call them back to correct the crappy job... they will gone on some sunshine hoilday with the missus & won't be back for weeks.

Wrong thread ross..
This is the correct one

[having been reared on teachers' salaries]

This is a tough time of the year I think for teachers. I get home at four and it's too dark for golf, too cold for gardening, too early for a beer and the TV is crap. I usually just go to sleep for a couple of hours.

Agreed O'Neill. It is hard to put in the time until the rest of the world finish work. You sleep, I normally check out my Sky +. There's always some programme I can finish off watching.

Does nobody ever get addicted to online gambling in all this spare time?

I shouldn't mock, having been reared on teachers' salaries.

I knew there was some reason  I thought you were riding one first though.
O'Neills a teacher Really?...Never knew that but it does explain a lot now that I think about it.

That fella Scott Brown seems like a complete knob

[Laois 1-12 Aontroim 0-10]

Laois 1-12 Aontroim 0-10

Laois continued their winning start in National Football League Division 2 by beating Antrim by 1-12 to 0-10 in Portlaoise.

Late points from Darren Strong, Gary Kavanagh and MJ Tierney put the seal on the O'Moore men's second league victory.

Tierney's fisted goal had the hosts 1-07 to 0-05 ahead at half-time, but they had Brendan Quigley sent-off just after the restart.

Paddy Cunningham spearheaded Antrim's charge as they made it a one-point game, but Justin McNulty's side produced the stronger finish.

Laois, who beat Westmeath two weeks ago, managed to win today despite failing to score for 27 minutes in the second half.

Tierney's haul of 1-02 was crucial for the victors, while Cunningham accounted for six of Antrim's points.


The sides were well-matched in the opening stages at O'Moore Park and were tied on four occasions inside the opening 25 minutes.

Rain showers hampered play approaching the break, but wind-backed Laois gained momentum by outscoring Antrim by 1-02 to 0-01 in the closing stages.

The unmarked Tierney was perfectly positioned on the edge of the square to fist a high ball to the net. A late point from Conor Murray closed the gap for the Saffrons to five points.

Quigley's dismissal threatened to derail Laois' charge for victory early on in the second half. Antrim scored four unanswered points during the third quarter to whittle Laois' lead down to 1-07 to 0-09.

But 'Boxer' Bradley's charges also struck four wides during their best spell of attacking play,and they came back to haunt them when substitute Paul Cahillane pointed to get Laois back on track.

Antrim were then outscored by four points to one in the closing stages with Strong, Cahillane, Kavanagh and Tierney copper-fastening the win.

As much as I like it when we do beat Westmeath its also nice beating Meath..so I think the record should show it was Eastmeath we beat last time not Westmeath.
