bridge too far Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 I wonder how many people will complain about the bosses of the UK top 100 companies who have seen their pay rises average 5% in spite of a downturn in their performances? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10507836.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 Perhaps you have trouble controlling your classes and get sworn at because of this immature attitude. Children are very perceptive and if they see their teacher acting in a certain way they may well think it's acceptable for them to replicate this behaviour. Just a thought. O my god, you are priceless. Mods I think it's time this donkey was put out to pasture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 Thorpe, as a teacher, how do you deal with the annoying attention seeking pupils who keep making inane comments? I tend to ignore them, but sometimes they will say something SO stupid that you can't help but respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that people are very quick to make judgements about the public sector but not quite so quick to do the same for the private sector. My purpose was to get a reaction.

My purpose was to get a reaction. You don't think the private sector is criticised much? Banks? BP? McDonald's? Microsoft? CocaCola? What planet are you on. Typical defensive resort-to-stereotype nonsense. And posting purely to get a reaction.... wtf? Ok then. Hitler, he was a nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that, when most of the problems facing this country have been caused by the financial sector, the leaders in that sector should enjoy large pay rises when the ordinary man / woman is going to be the one who has to pay the price.

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 (edited) Supply teachers are hit or miss, nothing that has suprised me so far... Although they haven't said so far WHY this teacher was incompetent... ...Plus they have now got rid or are getting rid of the GTCE, it's toothless.

In the private sector you go bust if you do not manage your business properly. In the public sector you keep your job judging by the teachers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 "An extra half a grade per pupil" ... but what difference will it make as, according to many, exams are getting easier anyway! :rollyeyethingy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeem Hardison Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 Why? In the private sector you go bust if you do not manage your business properly.

Kadeem Hardison Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 They got nationalised So the private company got bailed out by us, the taxpayers? That doesn't make sense. They should have gone bust.

Gemmel Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 I can't believe that woman gave an interview, I'd be too embarrased! I would imagine that the interview was around 2 hours long, where she gave her side of the argument and assured us all she was harshly treated.......a bit like she is feeling now after realisng that 1.58mins was left on the editors floor and her only contribution was to show an email being offered a deal. Without wantin to go to much off thread - another example of how the unions work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
