They start at 7.30 am each day, and therefore have a longer holiday. BUT. Education in this country has gone to pot. How can you educate kids for approx. 5 hours per day.
I started at 8.45am. First two lessons then a break. Then another two lessons to 12. Lunch break till 1245. Two lessons, then home.

IF. Teachers say its stressful job, why go into it. Teachers are NOT PAID ENOUGH money.
Some teachers, and l know of a few, that have been threatned with harm, or even knives.
My god when l went to school, if you threatened ANY teacher - you got caned.

This is what is wrong with Education today. When you are in school. You do as you are told, or you got punished.

Nowadays, if a pupil gets punished, the parents are into the school complaining about the little perishers.

I went into teaching because one of my teachers in 6th form said I was a natural..and I loved learning and I wanted to give back to the society I lived in.I really didn't think about the financial side apart from making my grant go far enough.
