Did you ever hear them on about the stress? Moaning about a job that they work less daily hours than most other professions, get much more holidays than most other proffessions and get over paid at that. Then take a wee while off because of stress It is a joke. Some say 'but they educate our children'. Do they really? I would suggest that education standards have went down hill steady this last 20 years and continue to do so

More of wemen flasing flesh instead. Never done telling mothers I'm not prepared to do anything to get young Conor an A.
Honestly, the fear of even grabbing some whippersnapper by the arm is crippling due to the possible consequences. I was told that even pointing a pen at a pupil can constitute abuse and can be taken up. This is only going to get worse. We'll soon have lawyers in at the start of the year telling us what's permissible and what not.
