  • Don't patronise me.

    Yes, that is the job of a teacher!

    Yet to find a teacher who can talk to an adult in a non patronising way. The problem of a school-college-University-school life cycle!

    LOL You could be right I used to work in education -silly me expecting a teacher to have research skills -good thing OFSTED didn't ask her about those I guess ;)

    Indeed -you can always tell the teachers who've worked in the real world for a couple years or more and then gone the PGCE route versus the ones who have literally never "left school". Doesn't do our kids any favours to have teachers with so little life experience. Scariest I saw was a very insular community comprehensive I worked at where almost all the NQTs were ex pupils -and had all attended the local uni so had never "left home". One even had a brother in the 6th form and as he still lived at home was socializing with his brother's friends at home when they visited -and then Monday morning would be teaching them. Crazy !
