Working hours of 9 'til 3 and thirteen weeks holiday a year, plus the fantastic money they earn. Well believe me today it's not like that in the slightest. I was educated in the '50s and spent over 30 years at the 'chalk face'. until retiring over a decade ago. It's a different ball game nowadays compared with back then. The critics ought to spend a few months trying it out and then they might alter their opinions. The same goes for nursing and a lot of other jobs. echo. That is true - the job I left in 2012 was very different from the one I started off in,as a newly -qualified teacher in 1972 .But then ,most things are different ,time brings changes. I would say that the kids we are thought were challenging in the 1970’s were pussycats compared to some ( not all,of course) young people today. What I can say is that I would not be striking if I was still teaching today.These students have missed large chunks of their education due to COVID etc already,and to cause them to miss even more at a crucial stage of the academic year ie before GCSE/A-level exams is shameful. Exams finish around mid-June- plenty of time to call a strike then and make your point without affecting young peoples’ chances. I thought teachers had the interests of their pupils as their first priority - it seems not.

I always thought the police -then Cheshire Police as those two lived in Hyde- were unaware untii Hindley's brother was suspicious and went and informed the police. Sorry for any confusion.

I've worked in education for nearly 25 years, taught for several of them and been married to a teacher, and its a real mixed bag - some teachers go above and beyond with marking and lesson plans, others do very little. Some stay until 6pm, others are out the door two minutes behind the kids! My ex had a box of unmarked books under the bed for three months. The last time I was at a school that was getting an OFSTED inspection the level of panic was disgusting - teachers were crying, the head decided to keep the school open from 6am to midnight each of the 3 days prior to the visit in order to prepare and basically falsify things. Why they need to prepare was beyond me if they did the job as required. Can you imagine having a dentist and them only doing the job properly if an inspector was due? Or a mechanic? If teachers think the role can't be done as it is and needs changing then they need to say NO to Ofsted, and explain, instead of bending over backwards and making things appear ok to them for the two days they're on site. Ofsted inspectors must think kids smell like fresh paint! When my lad was at school in about 2005 , a Ofsted Inspection was due . On that day two teachers took a load of the most unruly kids on a day trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school also tried to stop parents speaking with inspetors. I don't remember what the 'score' was though but if memory serves it wasn't great.
