My wife's a teacher, they're all worried about going back to an environment where nobody can tell them it's safe and it's hard to guarantee distancing or protection. Given the choice they'd much rather be in safe classrooms doing a job that's primarily face to face and easier than struggling to do whatever they can at home now. Anyone claiming laziness can fuck off.

A reasonable estimate for good teaching is double or triple the time spent in the classroom outside of it, varies by course (more for English, less for PE) and experience level of the teacher. Then you have TLRs/Management responsibilities on top. Coursework season can easily lead to you marking and remarking work for entire classes multiple times a week let alone a term.

The days of teachers that rocked up at 8:30 and hit the pub at 3 went out with the cane.

In this country. Some countries still value their teachers and treat them well. That's why so many are fucking off.

I bet if you'd asked teachers to procure some PPE they wouldn't have spaunked tax payers money on 400,000 duff gowns from a dodgy Turkish t shirt salesman.

That’s despite a PR campaign in certain newspapers of portraying teachers as the enemy.

What the fuck is that all about? I can't speak about over there but I know my two are getting emails, work, zoom meetings, all kinds of stuff and its really good- the teachers are working their arses off. Why are teachers getting demonised like this?

Because the frothy right are trying to prop up their terrible government.

Because they’re low hanging fruit. Most people’s experience of teachers is as authority figures so they love slagging them off. Also as Grendel shows most people’s ideas of what teachers do is about 30 years out of date.
