Booing teachers 10:02 - May 14 with 16990 viewsOccasional_Showers

Whilst our wonderful NHS have shown what a credit they are to themselves and the nation, teachers are yet again giving a great example to children of how not to behave in a crisis. Excuse after excuse not to go work, just like when they shut schools at the merest hint of snow.

How about making Friday boo the teachers night?

I thought all the schools had stayed open to teach vulnerable children and children of key workers so I assumed the teachers had never stopped going to work. Isn't that the case then? I assume also that, having made this statement, you have never stopped working either?

When I’m asked to go back to work I will go back and mitigate the risks by adjusting working practices. Teachers on the other hand are inherently lazy and are just looking for excuses.

There is a difference.

I’ve been listening to 6 music all morning, where they are saluting teachers, it’s been full of compliments coming in for teachers who are either working at schools or teaching remotely from home, and finding inivotive ways to keep the pupils learning

Just shows how little some people know about what’s really going on.

Well done teachers another group of unsung hero’s

I think it's because those teachers who are in high risk categories or who have coronavirus in their family are teaching their lessons via video link from home and people who are doing manual jobs probably don't consider working from home as real work. I just looked up my area's local secondary school website and the occupations listed as key workers who can still send their children to school seem to cover the majority of parents, even lorry drivers so if OS had any children, they'd be at school today:

"Education and childcare
This includes nursery and teaching staff, social workers and those specialist education professionals who must remain active during the COVID-19 response to deliver this approach.
Key public services
This includes those essential to the running of the justice system, religious staff, charities and workers delivering key frontline services, those responsible for the management of the deceased, and journalists and broadcasters who are providing public service broadcasting.
Local and national government
This only includes those administrative occupations essential to the effective delivery of the COVID-19 response or delivering essential public services such as the payment of benefits, including in government agencies and arm’s length bodies.
Food and other necessary goods
This includes those involved in food production, processing, distribution, sale and delivery as well as those essential to the provision of other key goods (for example hygienic and veterinary medicines).
Public safety and national security
This includes police and support staff, Ministry of Defence civilians, contractor and armed forces personnel (those critical to the delivery of key defence and national security outputs and essential to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic), fire and rescue service employees (including support staff), National Crime Agency staff, those maintaining border security, prison and probation staff and other national security roles, including those overseas.
Transport
This includes those who will keep the air, water, road and rail passenger and freight transport modes operating during the COVID-19 response, including those working on transport systems through which supply chains pass.
Utilities, communication and financial services
This includes staff needed for essential financial services provision (including but not limited to workers in banks, building societies and financial market infrastructure), the oil, gas, electricity and water sectors (including sewerage), information technology and data infrastructure sector and primary industry supplies to continue during the COVID-19 response, as well as key staff working in the civil nuclear, chemicals, telecommunications (including but not limited to network operations, field engineering, call centre staff, IT and data infrastructure, 999 and 111 critical services), postal services and delivery, payments providers and waste disposal sectors."

There certainly seems to be real hatred of teachers from a few of the Daily Mail readers on here. Have they been conducting some sort of campaign against them recently?

Can we have a major campaign to get all the correct ppe for the teachers who will be putting themselves and their families on the line as for other front line workers. The least they can ask for.
And how do you maintain the 2m rule with a bunch of kids in a room that is already overcrowded

Yes they should make all teachers and kids wear face masks until a vaccine is found , if not close all the schools until further notice. Parents who can't work due to childcare issues should retrain as home schoolers and be paid an allowance.

This is a fair point. But I suppose you have to consider that our wonderful nurses, doctors and emergency services are absolutely essential. They can't work from home.
Teachers, who can still teach via video link from home, probably aren't absolutely essential. You also have to take into account that parents especially of 11 to 16 year olds, won't want to put their child in a class of 30 others. This is arguably an unnecessary mix of people. Children can still learn from home.

But this slating of teachers, is just so wrong. My children have had very hard working, caring, passionate teachers who ring in the evening, send extra work by email etc etc. I know some in the family who work day, evenings and weekends.

There is also a shortage so why is that? Why don't people want to do the job?

Plus, don't forget, that not all teachers agree with the unions. When they went on strike as called for by unions, some teachers still went into work.

Fair points, but...

Having serious questions about why teachers are pushing back - "do not engage with the govt". - when others are not!

This is whilst other govt workers are in the work space and some will have no choice but flounce 2m guidelines.

As for job shortages, isnt that the case in the NHS, Armed Forces et al? (again, will work inside the 2m guidelines!)

I know several teachers and unless we live in a parallel universe, they certainly do not work what equates to 40 hours a week over the course of a 48 week year, or anywhere near that. Certainly when it comes to Primary School teaching, it appears to be a very cushy job.

I have no issues with that, as long as they are honest that it's 'just a job' and stop with the 'education first' b*llocks.

Once this virus is done, it will be the NHS staff, the care workers, the shop workers, bin-men, posties, delivery drivers etc who I will remember as being the key workers. Teachers won't even register anywhere near those who rolled their sleeves up and helped the country.

This is absolute nonsense. Primary school teaching is not a cushy job. You are totally wrong.

Why is there a shortage if it's so easy? Why do teachers leave their cushy job, give up their "holidays"? Explain the shortage, then your point might be more valid.

There might be shortages in other areas too, but some people say teaching is easy or cushy. So therefore there shouldn't be a shortage right? As it is such a cushy job?

And not engaging with the government, not sure where that has come from really. The head of the union might have said that but the teachers in my family would be happy to talk to anyone with possible solutions.

Actually, whilst retention of teachers is slightly down in the last couple of years ( less than 1% so nothing to write home about ) , the number of teachers in the UK is actually up. Overall numbers are very slightly down due to the rise in new pupils being more than the rise in teachers.

The 'shortage' is caused by people breeding like rabbits and immigration meaning an un-naturally high rise in the child population in the UK.

I don't know why teachers are so obsessed about making excuses. If they just kept quiet and cracked on with their jobs, maybe people wouldn't feel the need to have a pop at them?
