Glastonbury for Teachers

[Langdale Wolf]

Look, let's not beat about the bush here - teachers do f**k all and get longer holidays for half a days work and grumble at having to put a cross or a tick next some scruffy version of hangman, whilst those of us with a fraction of common sense and self respect do crosswords which are far more taxing and take longer and call it LEISURE.

It's only right that they get to miss Glastonbury. Lazy buggers.

Now can someone pass me some bait?

You don't spend *enough* time in the company of teachers! Your spelling and grammar is appalling, you man!!!

[Storm_NL]

Your spelling and grammar are appalling (unless your using 'spelling and grammar' as some sort of rhyming slang for example)

Umm... that should be 'you're'. You really should take care of your own spelling and grammar in a post criticising someone else's!

2 hours per night my arskkkkkkkk.. Maybe some teachers but nowhere near even half spend 2 hours per night marking.

I know quite a few teachers, and i would say between them an average is 2 hours per night twice a week ! Most of them are in the gym before i get there each evening at 6pm, and go to the pub when they leave !!!

I know several teachers who often start work around 7:30am, and come home and are marking or preparing for lessons for 3 hours plus, 4 nights a week.

My Mum used to be a teacher and she used to work from 8am - 11pm most school days (excluding time to cook tea for us when we were growing up) so she had everything ready for school the next day.

Mind you, she didn't do much school work during the holidays.

Nice to see that the supposition that Teaching is a piss-easy job for slackers and a counter-argument (ironically, from Teachers) that it isn't can be found in all walks of life.

Personally, I wouldn't teach. Having to look after and discipline a gang of kids without any real powers or authority would wind me up to the point of spontaneous combustion and I'd end up battering one of them to death. Don't care how many hours or days off you get or what salary it is.

I know enough teachers to say that the "we work in our holidays" claim is utter rubbish.

[Storm_NL]

I wasn't criticising, merely pointing out

I've tried to think of a loophole context where your would be appropriate. But can't. Hence

My other half is a college lecture. He had 4 weeks off for summer, he spent 3 weeks working his ass off preparing for lessons. He starts at 8 and he gets home about 7. Dont think he has a easy life?

Talking of preparing lessons my mate Steven (History Teacher) used to arrive at the pub half an hour early so he could arrange his and then discuss with us whether we thought it would work.

[Langdale Wolf]

Ha ha ha ha yeah right....and there's absolutely no time in the 11 hours a day he's at work for him to prepare lessons.

If you teach GCSE, you dont have to prepare for your lessons. Teaching at college and degree level you do!

Teaching at any level involves lesson prep.
