Am a teacher also and i only take a slating from other teachers or former teachers as they have done the job and know what it is about. In the same vein i would not criticise other jobs as i do not fully know what they entail as i have not worked in these particular job.

yea folks teachers are little darlings sent from heaven who work night and day for the betterment of our children- laughable to say the least. Lads it doesnt matter is you agree of not the important think is the party is over for the most overpaid, underworked and in most instances useless sections of the public service.

unfortunately the above is how devoid of reality teacher are, they feel they have absolutely no obligation to those who pay their wages as they only care what other, useless, overpaid, underworked teacher do. i think that tells us all we need to know

Yeah ballboy you interpreted my post exactly as it was meant. Your own intelligence is perhaps what needs to be called into question here. Teacher bashing is an easy occupation and good luck with it, although i would challenge you to try it some day and see how you get on, then come back and berate it as a profession.

Sounds like ballboy was kept in school over the summer :-)

id love to be a teacher, if working 20 hours a week for approximately 6 months of the year is considered hard - then i really wonder what a soft number is? anyways ye dont have to agree or disagree with me, the joke is up and teachers are getting their cummupance whether ye like or not. the most funny thing is teachers coming out saying they have it tough, as i say its very hard to get someone who is useless to admit they are useless. these changes will extend to other priviledge jobs such as nurses, gardai etc. who recieve massive amounts of money for very very inefficient work and effort. this is why i enjoy this recession many people are getting their cummupance and i really enjoy it. the sooner we start the heaving lift the sooner we can get into recovery, we have done nothing yet and we will play about until we take 40% off the wages of lazy civil servethemselves. its going to happen it has to happy how painful it is will be dependent on the stupidity of the irish people, so what should take 10 years will take 25, but i dont care as they will get whats coming to them and rightfully so. little darlings from heaven- more like armed robbers.

Ah well i might as well enjoy the rest of my holidays while i still have them, before i go back to my 20 hours (wherever that figure came from)

Like I said Frank, ignore him.

Ballboy,

Any chance of a spin to New Zealand in a few weeks time in your private jet?

Well my mot is a Corca Dhuibhne búnscoil múinteoir and she works 25 hours a week and does indeed get paid well for it, holidays and all!

Liathroidboy is not wrong, nor would the mot disagree either as I and everyone else say to her and her friends about the hours they work and holidays they get, but their reply is always: "Well if you are so envious of the hours we work and the holidays we get then go and become a teacher yourself!"

The mot will agree thats its all fairly cushy and stress free in fairness and the only extra she has in the coming year is prepare the kids for their first holy communion in 2nd class which is no big deal now is it!!

I agree with you regarding most of your post but would a Secondary teacher not have a harder job ? I'm sure setting and correcting homework and supervising teenagers would be an entirely more difficult job as well as preparing them for Leaving Cert as i am you would be judged on your class's results !!

It's apples and pears Slasher. Two different jobs.

Completely different styles of teaching as well different challenges faced in the classroom.

slasher do you not find that in secondary school when a pupil does well in their exams its because they have worked so hard to throughout the years to get them, however, if a pupil does not do well its the teacher's fault??

frankbhoy77 (Antrim) - Posts: 1300 - 08/08/2011 20:53:17    1006956

Frankbhoy,

Yes and if there is a high failure rate because the student has not done any work at all except cause disruption throughout the year its the teacher's fault too.
