Teachers leaving the profession is a tragedy

Odd breed teachers. I socialise with loads of them, and not a one chose teaching as a career. They all took the easiest degree they could and went for teaching as a job as that was pretty much their only option. Don't see many engineering or science graduates going into teaching, it's all IT, philosophy, etc...


This could well get a few bites.

Pretty true though.
 
a friend of ours is a teacher and she is retiring in the summer. one of the reasons she is leaving is because of the behaviour of other teachers and the bad language that is used around the staff room. She states quite rightly that children often go to the staff room for may different reasons and it is not right that children should hear that in a school setting. also says the headteacher is one of the worst offenders. There are other reason, but she has banged on about this for years

I can 100% vouch for the “an increasingly bland and joyless educational diet”

Terrible to see so many of my colleagues, particularly the more experienced ones drive out of the profession. Top and bottom is that ultimately it will be the kids who suffer as their love of learning is utterly destroyed. Watched it with my own kids during SATS year in year 6, they utterly despise school now and just want it over with asap so they can do something interesting.

True. My wife was a teacher but packed in a year ago, after three years. She had no life during that time and the job was a joke. Unfortunately the people at the top have no idea what they're doing.
 
Sympathise with anyone that quits teaching. I quit quite a while ago and went self employed. Total different direction to teaching. Love what I do and it is really enjoyable. At the end of the day, I finish work and that is it for the day.

Ha!!!! Kids in the staff room? Fuck that.
 
My mate is a superb teacher, he got a disciplinary and was dismissed over some made up shite.
He appealed and won, got re-instated; he's so disillusioned now he has quit and started doing supply.
The kids of Bradford are the ones to lose.

This! f***ing this!

Essentially middle of the road humans at best who got English degrees and went into teaching. But because if the nature of the job ended up on head of year salaries due to lack of competition.

There's 2 teachers who I know of who have owt between their lugs, one teaches technology the other IT. The English teachers I know are the liberal leftist I destroy in discussions.

Worsened still by their eagerness to laud it over their non teacher mates when it's summer and they are in their garden with the sun out. But the first to tell me how easy I have it at any other time and that I don't understand and could never teach.

Soft cock, sandy vajed *****.

Those who can do, those who can't teach.
