Before anyone takes the hump with the following then perhaps they should first think about the previous teaching experiences and employment of the writer, his previous work colleagues and whose relations are still within the same profession but hold an opposite view to the majority of those they work alongside. We always have put the needs of the children - the pupils, FIRST.
I just knew it had to come! Watching the news this morning it has transpired that via a survey of teachers that their moral is again very low. Guess what will inevitably come next...obviously they will strike again for better conditions, less work, more holidays, more perks etc whilst all the while insisting that any actions taken by them will not affect the education of our children
If that is what they beileve then it is obvious that they are in the wrong profession if they cannopt understand that any strike action by them WILL damage the education of their pupils with whom they were charged by parents and by the government (of whatever flavour) to provide a high standard of education to our children.
I suggest that if their moral is so low and that they are so unhappy then perhaps they ought to go find a different job! Oh! I forgot...there is not another job that affords them the same level of paid time off and power. At the end of the day no-one forces them to work the supposed many unpaid excess hours they do (according to them) do they? A salary in my day, and still does, meant that you were paid for your experience, skill and work, not by the hour.
If teachers are so called professionals then it is high time they acted like true professionals and not in the selfish, self-centred way they do.
Perhaps the truer picture is that they do not like the idea of having to work for a living because it is too much of an inconvenience for them?
A strike will only serve to prove that the above was all correct and bang on the mark!
Why are so many children leaving school without having received a decent education? Don't blame it on the kids either because the teachers are the adults and it is they who had the rules re-written to make their own lives easier.
Time for a drastic change so teachers are made to come to the standard of teaching our children have the lawful right to, and that we as parents have the right to expect!
I now wait for the usual wafflling excuses that will as usual bear no truth or reason.
