Most disliked profession ?

[Shegull]

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,

I work opposite a teacher training college and when I see what comes out of there everyday I really worry about education into the future. The manners or should I say lack of manners and the language that comes out of them is nothing short of disgusting. You say about hooligans in the classroom but when the teachers who are supposed to teach them don't know the meaning of the word disipline to start with then the kids have no chance. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that it is the teachers job to fully discipline kids - that is the parents job - but when I was in school you were taught to respect the teachers and it seems that good manners are now a thing of the past.

Rant over.

Oh and my worst profession Estate Agents - law unto themselves.

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.

Many teachers spend far longer with children than their parents do.

No teacher has ever spent more time with my sons than I have but it never stops them thinking they know them better.

Worst part of that teacher training college is the way it - and your offices too! - juts out in to the road and cause all sorts of traffic problems

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.

In the 'How wrong can you be, you total plum' category, you win a Gold Star. Go to the top of the class.

I'm afraid to say in many instances (though not all, and possibly not even the majority), it happens to be the case.

I dare say there are cases like that and it's quite sad really, But like I said it's just one of the little things I find frustrating with teachers.

Questions_

You want to talk to my wife.

She is a teaching assistant and because this government has decided to give teachers "non contact time" where they can prepare lessons and stuff, although she has been doing the job for 15 odd years, she is expected to provide cover for this non contact time as the schools have not the budget to employ temporary teachers.

She does this at a fraction of the pay qualified teachers earn and does it not for the money, but because she loves the job and the kids she teaches.

If you want to have a go at a profession, have a go at the government who are butchering our schools budgets at the detriment of our FUTURE and the kids future all in the name of "efficiency. The next time some schools minister comes on and says there is an extra million £'s for school books, remember that that equates to about 1/5th of a book per pupil.

Why are you so jumpy about the idea that an education professional might actually know more about teaching your kids than you do? They see it all day every day with thousands of kids. They know education, you know your kids - so work with them. That's not the same as raising them, which is clearly your job - but it's an important part of the process.

You wouldn't go to a lawyer, and then tell them you knew more about it than they did.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Well, seeing that the serial ignore list-frequenting "Questions" has obviously won so many people over to his point of view, should we put this to a poll? "Teachers - a good thing or bad thing?"

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the VATman.

Small businesses work hard and charge their clients this tax, collect it for the government, pay it over, spend extra time keeping VAT records and once every 5 years the VATman comes round and tells you the records aren't right and you actually owe him another £X00 pounds.

Parasitic lowlife scum.

I'm not in the least bit jumpy about it and I dont claim to know more about teaching kids than they do, It's they're job and it's what they get paid to do. The bit that frustrates me is when I try and have an adult conversation with a teacher and all I get is someone half my age trying to talk down to me like i'm some kind of naughty school boy, And acting like they know more about my kids than I ever will do. On the whole teachers do a very good job but some of them need to realise that like the rest of us they are not 100% right all the time.

Careers advisors.

They say those who can't do, teach - but a careers advisor is someone who obviously isn't qualified to hand out advice, otherwise they'd be doing something else themselves. Same with stockbrokers - like I believe someone who has to go to the treadmill every day and tell someone else how to make money?

Pleasingly, I have a VAT inspection pending. :

Luckily for me, I'm on that flat rate scheme so f*** knows what he thinks he's going to find.

You think? Why?

their contribution to society doesn't chart. they make more money (often) than single people ever deserve to make and do it simply by manipulating money and playing with figures. they create nothing and are symptomatic of this selfish, consumerist, heartless and money-driven western attitude.

i understand that in some far-east countries, making massive errors on the stockmarket that cost billions of dollars can warrant a death sentence (a ruling that was played out about a year ago if i remember correctly). i cannot help but feel that the world would be a nicer place if this policy was more widespread.

You clearly have no idea of what a "stockbroker" does, and probably have had little or no contact with any traders of financial markets yet you feel qualified to suggest they are wiped from the face of the earth. Not understanding what "they" do, how can you say they offer society nothing? A more stereotypical pile of inaccurate nonesense you would be hard pressed to find, even by NSC standards.
If you have some genuine reason to dislike traders (and I have many) then fair enough, but this Sun readers drival is quite comical.
