mate seriously, I know there are lots of hard working dedicated teachers in this country but there are many who don't come in the top 90% of hardest working people. I have done many jobs as well as teaching and I have never come across such a bunch of moaning minnies as state school teachers. practically the only job for life left, virtually impossible to get sacked. guaranteed two wage rises a year (depending on your scale) up until this year and an amazing pension scheme. Schools have many teachers who are totally uninspired and actually dislike teaching yet stay in the job for another 30 years because they are scared to get employment elsewhere and they know a cushy number when they see one. Teachers should be inspiring and so in love with their job they barely notice the stresses that come with it.
