Teachers get it handy!

[Armaghtothebone]

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

I would suggest that anyone who uses the phrase " education standards have went downhil" is 100% correct.

Yes, I blame the parents.

I take it that's a no on the boot up the hole thing then. SS2's and TYP's silence is deafening though.

On to parents.
Have you ever had a parent crack up at you at a PT meeting?

[ONeill]

More of wemen flasing flesh instead. Never done telling mothers I'm not prepared to do anything to get young Conor an A.

[hardstation]

That's good parenting, all the same. Fair play to the women.

I tried the satire once with you and it went way over your head, so no, a boot up the hole is extremely inappropriate.

In fairness young Conor never had a chance of getting an A. Sure didn't they have to keep moving him round didfferent schools.

TYP, what does the future hold for the profession - in your view? (serious question)

[hardstation]

Yes, TYP, I did get a boot up the hole at least once. It was for nothing and the teacher walked away (he has a funny walk, sort of a waddle) laughing. I thought about reporting him but I was afraid to point my finger at him.

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.

Where were these rules when I was at school?



















just a few of what I had to dodge!

The black plimsoles hurt the worst, and they were my own.

When I was at primary school, one of the teachers wanted to pull me by my ear. I had my hearing-aid, so she chickened out.

Vodka - ours was lashing the vodka in to her. I spent the most of P7 taking the roll and ordering the dinners. Poor woman.

Yea mine was a woman too, must have been a mid life crisis.

[Puckoon]

No Sir,
you did however cut me very deep one day. I had moved on from that - until you asked.
Ill probably be at the therapist most of next week now

Actually in fairness, I only got wacked once at the brothers. Fella looked like Gerry Adams. Smacked me right across the face, outside the old VPs office.

Must have hit him with a snowball or something.

In P3, a lad in my class kept chewing the top of his pencil. The teacher cracked up one day, made him sit in the bin and eat his whole pencil. WTF?
