Don't all teaching jobs?

Er..only if I can wiggle my nose to get from teaching job to picking up children at school gates - assuming, of course, that you're lucky enough to have a teaching job where the contact hours are less than your children's school hours.

Do you really imagine that your children's school teachers turn up on the dot school starts and leave on the dot the kids go home? I think you'll find all teachers are expected to turn up well before the school day starts and leave well after it.

Ha Ha! The Tories have only been in power for 4 months and they have shown themselves up for the lying bunch of charlatans that they are.

Watch my lips "We will Preserve Child Benefit"

Hmm. My sister is a teacher and she seems to work 8am-6pm most days. Plus does a lot of work evenings and on Sundays - the pay is pretty poor too. For all the long holidays I don't envy her one little bit. Its a lousy job IMHO.

I deal with teachers every day, yes they do additional work but mainly at home.

If teachers worked 8AM-6PM at school our work would be 10X easier.

This shows the genius of Clown's ultra-complex tax and benefit system. He's so wrapped up Britain in benefits entitlement for all and perverse incentives with 100% marginal tax, that it's near impossible to change anything without some group being worse off and crying to the Biased BBC. Obviously it backfired on him with the 10% tax rate.

All this proves is the need for a flat rate tax without exemptions

No - you're getting confused - we're talking about a family on benefits here.

Of course the kids do - the adults certainly don't! (Unless I've been missing out all these years... )

No, I imagine you to be a supply teacher? Not full time, mainly covering the odd lesson.

Ooh, so how do you explain ITV's very similar coverage, then...?
