Teachers...

Yes ... but can you chew gum at the same time.

The only marketable skills I picked up in god-knows-how-many years at university were bar tending and cab driving:alright:
No wonder there's a wailing and gnashing of teeth when students miss out on a University place:rolleyes::D
 
We never really answered Roadhousezamora's questions in the opening post.

My answers are 'mainly poor', 'yes', 'yes', 'yes' and 'not a lot'.

No teachers or ex teachers/academics are allowed to express an opinion.They're biased and their opinion doesn't matter.
 
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?

Teachers are all saints.
You can never have too many holidays.
The end of the working day can never come too soon.
These days probably yes - I don't know anybody who doesn't.:(

You could always apply for a teaching job in Dubai - great pay apparently, i know a couple of teachers who've just moved out there with their family, they're mid-40's and reckon they can retire in 5 yrs time -oh, and they get a free private education for their kids there too at an International school!

Downside - local laws are a bit different to here - don't even think of holding your wife's hand in public!;)

(NB the correct use of there, their and they're all in one sentence - Miss Bailey would be proud of me!):)

Spoken like a true teacher- which I'm sure you said you were! Teaching English in Italy?
If so-1. Your opinion isn't allowed.
2. If you ARE an English teacher, I would hope you CAN use there,their and they're correctly. Otherwise heaven help the Italians.
If you're not a teacher then I apologise. However your vote still doesn't count because you didn't agree with me!

I posted the thread cos I get grief off some people I know about basically not doing any work and how much of an easy lark teaching is. I disagree with this but yeah its probably not right to ask teachers if they get enough holidays or not...
 
Question for teachers.

Concerning the annual increase of students' qualifications, and grades.

Have standards of education risen, or have examinations become easier, over the last thirty or so years?

On second thought, after seeing how many trainee teachers have to retake the numeracy/literacy tests, whilst training, perhaps they aren't qualified to answer this.

The question is therefore opened up to everyone.

:rolleyes::D
