Teachers...

[Roadhousezamora]

I'm a teacher, just wondered what peoples views on them were? Too many holidays? finish too early? Should be happy they have a job and not whinge about pensions???

What do we reckon?

thanks I'll give it a read, are there any other teachers here, I for one didn't strike with the pensions thing but hey ho... Thanks for the link i'll read some of the opinions.

People teach because they weren't able to make a success in the world outside of academia.

Those than can, do.

Those that can't, teach.



(I'm a professor, by the way.)

What do you teach, if it's not too nosey a question?

[Roadhousezamora]

I'll be honest I do it for the early finishes and the ridiculous holidays... (thats a joke in case anyone from work comes on here)

I agree, I'm never going to make a perpetual motion machine or perfect nuclear fusion but I can do a damn good job of telling other people about it.

I agree you are good at professing things -but please don't start going Wilde on us....

When I was at school, ( maybe even the one you now work at in it's previous existence ) I did have thoughts of becoming a teacher. On reflection I'm glad I didn't in this day and age, I have enough of a job putting up with the cockiness of my own without another 1,000 or so to send me nuts

I'm only teasing.

Good teachers change lives.

Bad teachers ruin 'em.

I have great respect for those who can inspire their students to achieve their full potential.

I think you're right to be glad -I've been teaching English as a foreign language for 20-odd years and i have come to the conclusion that i prefer teaching adults as a rule and, at a push, older teenagers as they start to become a bit more interesting as human beings....

It is a very rewarding job, the best day being last thursday when the pupils get their results. Science is a great subject aswell, the pupils love blowing things up... It gets them engaged in the subject
