Heartily agree with the parents! At one of my old schools parents fighting at home time or 'slagging off' other people's kids was commonplace. I have also found that the worst kids always have non-attendance at parent's evenings, so they know the score but can't be bothered to sort it out.
Sorry for moaning about marking, but the 'ten minutes per book' thing is what made me quit f/t teaching. The Government surely can't ask usto work more than 24 hours a day!it's just another way to say teachers are statistically underperforming and skirt the real reasons for our failing society imo.
I think most teachers stay in the job as they are tied to the income. You can't get £35k plus twelve weeks of holidays doing anything else. Few of my colleagues could understand why I was giving up work to live on supply wages. As I probably said before, with no mortgage living is actually cheap

Ta everyone, nice debate here, lovely to hear opinions rather than the normal internet arguing eh!
