Surprised El Pres didn't pick you up on the use of a gerund. After all, he is married to a teacher.
Stupid teacher remember Uncle C, remember the name you apply to them.

That's why you missed it then.
You must be a union based teacher. All you can offer is an insult. Top work!
Teachers have been moaning at their work and conditions for at least fifty years that I can remember. Nothing will change for them.
Well that would be a first for NSC on any discussion.
As a teacher, could you inform me on the reasons why Gove is hated so much. Does he set the pay structure? This is a genuine question. My teacher friends, who also hate him leave me confused on what he is actually doing. My rant may have been a bit daily mail but all I see at my kids local schools is inset days, prep work for the following year being done 2 weeks before break up, our friends doing marking in the first week of summer holiday, 4 wks of holidaying then some planning in the last week of holiday. I get 1 decent holiday, no pay rise at all and get my pension stripped to the bone to subsidise yours. I would not want to be a teacher and understand it is a difficult job, but come on. A damn good salary and one of the best pensions in the public system.Yes, I am a teacher. I am also a member of a Union.
However, your rant was so cliched, so uninformed and so bigoted that I felt it unworthy of response.
In real terms, after having our wages frozen and pension payments increased, our pay has fallen by over 15% when linked to inflation over the last five years.
Your comment about holidays shows a total lack of understanding of teachers' workload. You are obviously one of those who believe that teachers work from 9 to 3.30 and for half the year.
Feminisation? You've lost me on that one.
Your post was deliberately insulting to my profession. It deserved more than the minor 'insult' that I responded with.
The teachers and most other union based workers will never support a tory government.Gove never had a chance and the next education minister will suffer the same. Teachers will only be happy with a 20% pay rise, more holidays and more feminisation of the education system. We get thousands of students with over inflated opinions of themselves, no high end jobs and shed loads of immigrants who are not too proud to pick up a broom and graft. Gove wanted kids to have the education he had. He may or may not have been right but at least he made decisions, not flip flopped like some ministers. Now the kids suffer again. Nice work teachers, your immature name calling and hatred has got results. Very grown up actions!!
more feminisation of the education system.
Again. I am genuinely interested in the reasons that the teachers hate Gove. From what I gather it is either pay/pensions, old fashioned books, too much work. I would really like to know.Oh dear.
It's hard to put into words just how embarrassingly ignorant that gibberish is; only surpassed in the gibberish stakes by the fact that Uncle C agrees with it. And as we've already ascertained, he doesn't know what he's on about.
Still waiting for you to back up your assertion that the majority of teachers are 'stupid'.

I'm going to go out on a limb and state that 100% of the teachers at my son's school aren't stupid. I'm going to back it up - perhaps a first for NSC - with the evidence that they a) all have degrees b) taught my son to read, write, add up, write creative stories, use a computer, build rocket ships out of stuff and speak more Spanish than I can and c) the teachers' team won the annual PTA pub quiz which I set and I'm definitely not stupid.
It must be the ones in those failing schools. Or more likely complete bollocks.
Perhaps it was most of Uncle C's teachers who were 'stupid'.
It would, after all, explain a lot.
The idea of free schools and academies seems to be a mistake. Financial control is handed over to the school, its Head and governors. Already there have been too many cases of mismanagement of these schools. And while I am a Liberal Democrat I still see it as the taxpayers money and there must be greater local authority supervision of schools. Both financially and what is taught. Mr Gove has supported both free schools and academies.
