Teachers etc on Summer Hols

31 Jul 2008

It has become apparent that some of the forumites are on hols from their normal jobs for a long 6 to 8 weeks.
So if you are one of these people, please report in your post count current total, and then early September we can see who has had nothing else better to do with their time!!!
We could also do a list of jobs that these people could do.
1. Sort out the junk kitchen draw
2. Clean the oven
3. Hoover out the car
4.
lol

I personally don't think all teachers are lazy, and I am sure they will que up to sort your wrinkly bits out. :twisted:

It's those supply teachers I feel sorry for. 6 to 8 weeks of no income can't be easy, especially with the economic crisis, which means there is much less casual work going about.
I don't know many teachers that aren't having to take on 2nd jobs, like home tuition and marking SATs papers.
My bro lives with a teacher and she reckons she does 52 hours minimum a week during term time, so it's not exactly a cushy job.

Not off for the long holidays but at home this week (finishing off, or should that be starting and finishing off) my assignment for University. Very stressed, very confussed and very unhappy at being stuck in the house all day (and really struggling with the assignment) :cry:

Babysitting?

OOOOO no.4 ...Learn how to do their job properly so we don`t have to have "Teacher training days" throughout the term !!
bolt

Always wondered how they can have 6 to 8 weeks off, and then their first day back is a training day. :shock:
Or a training day is always just after a holiday. Another day of the parents having to sort a minder out for their kids. :lol:
That ain't a dig at you either FB. kiss

OK betting's closed! :lol:
Not taken as a dig, Kent.
But:
We're contracted to teach 195 days a year. Teacher training days are to be added on to that, making 200 contracted official working days a year. It's more out of convenience that they are tagged on to either end of holidays. We've had INSET days in the middle of the week as well, and people still moan. Can't win really.
And Mar, yes she bloody did - broke one of them even! :lol:

TED days are nothing to do with teaching really. They really involve SAS training so that the teachers are prepared how to handle the horrible children who think they can walk out or disrupt the class.
They also have 'gymnastic' training so they can vault across the room at double speed to stop Joey from hitting Johhny in a flash.
They have training on how to get the truth out of naughty children who won't snitch on their mate without using chinese torture.
All these things are vital to keeping the harmony in a class room and allowing the more innocent children to reach their full potential.
See... you didn't know your local unassuming teacher was so highly trained and skilled.
One thing that is missing though. I do think they should have a regular supply of jaffa cakes bought for them, so they can teach about the cycle of the moon properly. Schools in some areas of so under resourced. How is a teacher to do this without jaffa cakes??? I ask you!!!!!

Ninja teacher reporting for duty, Venus lol

And I don't like Jaffa cakes confused

lol FB how are you going to teach about the cycles of the moon with a chocolate finger? haha
I'll have the jaffa cakes then and the hobnobs for you, although I nearly died on a hobnob during nbc training, so do be careful.

So are the chalk throwing skills a voluntary additional course?

Nope, it's not a whiteboard either. It's either a chalkboard or a write on/wipe off board rolleyes
