Most disliked profession ?

[Questions]

Which profession is generally disliked the most ?

For me its teachers. I do a lot of work in schools and I have never met a bunch of people who whinge as much as they do.
Forever trying to scrap exams for children telling everyone that we are putting undue stress on our kids when they know the real reason is that with exams we can gauge how incompetant some schools and teachers really are.

Because they have left school, gone to college and then on to uni they have no idea of working outside of that enviroment.

Last week I had a teacher moan to me about how they had to come back 3 days before term re-starts in September of this year.................... And inset days ?

f*** me if only the general public could see what they do on these Oh so important times stolen out of our childrens educational timetables.

Right I`m going to work now and they are going to get it with both barrels if they start whinging again.

Everyones favourite.........................


A builder.

A close second to estate agents I would say on most peoples list.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I would imagine that cowboy builders sit higher on most people's lists than teachers.

I prefer to dislike individual people than whole professions really. Even traffic wardens and estate agents are only doing their jobs.

I think teachers get a hard time of it. Yes they do get a lot of holiday, but they work a lot harder during the working week than most people. Most are in work before 8 and won't leave before 5.30. As well as working at weekends. The kids get a lunch break, but if teachers get 15 mins to eat their lunch they are doing well.

I suppose I should declare an interest, both my mum and my girlfriend were/are primary school teachers. My girlfriend spent 3 days of the recent half term writing reports and most of last weekend finishing them off.
Not sure if it's any easier in secondary schools though.

Most disliked profession... Estate Agents. Professional footballer can't be far behind it.

On the contrary. Most British hangmen were mini celebrities. Albert Pierrepoint certainly was very popular.

Sorry I aint having that, my mum is a headtecher and she is Bloody good at her job. Yes they get a lot of holiday time, but it is one of the toughest jobs out there. Its not unknown for her to do a 12 hour day from time to time.

generalisation there from Questions.

 

[sir danny cullip]

What about the old chesnut of recruitement consultants? I was one of them for a while but could no way do it for a career.

 

[Simster]

I don't understand Questions' point at all. Teachers get a lot of holiday but work very hard. My mum certainly did before she retired.

Plus, those teachers that work for 35 grand in deprived areas where the kids are rude, threatening and god knows what else - they deserve a medal IMO. We have a friend who works in a shite secondary school in Eastleigh. If he tells off some of the kids, they are gobby and threatening and have been known to text their parents in mid lesson. Then when the lesson finishes, these chavvy parents are standing outside waiting to punch the teacher's lights out. Who needs that sort of shit?

 

[Simster]

As for my worst, I'd say most forms of agency but especially estate agents. House prices have reason four fold in a decade, yet they charge the same commission rate and give the same shit standard of service. Unbelievable.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Very weird.

Erm, in my estimation, the people who dislike all "teachers" as a group the sort of asocial socially-retarded lumbering Private Pyle-alike numpties who never QUITE fitted in at school - or socially in later life - or were brought up neglectfully by their parents - and therefore end up having a problem with authority which can later manifest itself in blood-shedding KNIFECRIME outside the school gate.

You dont have a clue what you are talking about. I have never heard such crap in my entire life.

My girlfriend is head of department and she is working on average 14 hours a day. This does not include marking books over the holidays, planning lessons, and all the over shit that comes with it.

It's the goverment that keep changing things, not the teachers.
For example this academy business is a real f***ing screw up. Did you know that teachers terms and conditions change under academies? My girlfriends school is being taken over, and over 16 teachers have now handed their notice in.

If you think you can do better, please by all means go up to a rough inner city school and teach 30+ kids from all ethinic backgrounds without trying to offend.

At the same time control a bunch of hooligans, that see fit to sling chairs across the class room at you, and make your life a misery on a daily basis,

Now do you want to be a teacher?

I would'nt say teachers are high on my list of disliked professions, But thats not to say I don't find some of them very hard work to talk to and I find they have a very frustrating habit of thinking they know kids better than the parent does.

 

[Tooting Gull]

A good teacher is like gold dust, an asset to the school, area and nation - and anyone who can't see that is an imbecile.

I tend to agree with HKFC, there are bad individuals in all professions. We even had a good estate agent for our house sale and purchase last year, he worked bloody hard resurrecting a fallen-through sale getting a new buyer so we didn't lose the one we were trying to purchase.

There just don't seem to be any good ones among traffic wardens. And they could always get another job, one that doesn't involve inflicting misery on others.

BOTH my parents were teachers and I saw how hard they worked. That was when they were ALLOWED to discipline unruly children properly.

Teachers these days, especially in Secondary Schools, deserve a MEDAL. They are faced with hordes of children who KNOW that they can get away with disgraceful levels of disrespect and abuse and they are POWERLESS to do anything against it.

From the other side, my eldest son is going to University in September - he wouldn't be doing that if his teachers hadn't been professional, motivated and bloody GOOD at their job.
