Because let's face it teaching teenagers is no holiday...and I wonder how many of the folk suggesting this are parents who regard teachers as childminders anyway?Well this child minder wants paying much better wages in that case.  |
You certainly get my vote coggy, how many people here would trade places with you? let alone pay packets. It seems to me that nowadays that a fair few children and their parents have little respect for teachers, I remember a few years back a neighbour of mine going to the school his son attended to "have it out" with the teacher, because he had the temerity to put his little angel on detention for having a packet of cigarettes in his bag!! I mean if teachers can't rely on parents to back them up in cases like this, we are in a sorry state. As you say coggy a number of parents look upon schooling as mere child minding, where upon the "parent" can totally abrogate all responsibility, in my view you and your fellow teachers deserve every penny you earn, and then some, for what at times must seem a very thankless task.
