You missed my irony, Scott. Teaching is an incredibly difficult job, beyond most in the MetO.

Especially with some ******* from OFSTED watching your every move.

You can never control your mouth, can you, hughes?

Inspection is necessary, to get the best deal possible for kids, but teaching is an amazingly complex and difficult job; as I said, far beyond most in the MetO. However, the pay may be comparable to teachers, after 10 years in the job, so why don't the MetO strikers who've decided decided their lot is not good enough, leave and re-train as maths and science teachers? If they are good enough, the teaching profession would love to have them........but they would have to be good enough. Pay teachers more; they do an incredible job, as do junior doctors in the NHS.

My daughter now teaches history at secondary level and after the Christmas break she wasn't looking forward to going back.


Years ago teachers just taught and there were good inspirational teachers, mediocre teachers and just plain nasty bits of work, but overall we went to school to be taught and therefore behaved ourselves and teacher never has a target on their back where all the ills and indiscipline of modern society were are laid squarely on their backs , as if they are to blame.
