"fined by a military court"

Are you talking about UK border control?

If so what planet have you moved to?

UK border control are going on strike on Wednesday they should have their passports confiscated and be fined.

.

I like the idea of a military court, perhaps they could be persuaded to shoot some of the muppets who contribute to these threads?

Before anyone suggests I could be first in line, I've already volunteered to command the firing squad! I'm expecting to be working night and day, hope there's a good pension to reward my efforts :-)

Ok second. lol (joke)

.

most civil servants are lazy people and would never get a post in the private sector
this is fact
kids are leaving school and can not even read properly that is down tomany bad teachers who went in to teaching thinking it was a easy life style .
and we have ended up with crap.the assistants are brighter

mmm

well i am soon in good profits but not selling these will soon hit 35p

Tanker Reason kids leave school and cannot read properly is down to government interference. I taught for 35years and have watched standards fall time and time again because the govt keep introducing new supposedly better methods. Teachers are fettered with discipline as basically they're not allowed to upset the children, reports can only be positive dare not write now that a child is lazy or disruptive or a social deviant. Lets just keep them happy doesn't matter if they learn anything. I decided to get out when I was told at a training course that I had to do a risk assessment to let children go to the toilet!!!!! Not saying there aren't any bad teachers as that happens in all jobs but teaching is far from a soft option. Rant over!

mag . if you read my post properly you will see that i did say that .
these so called teachers have gone in to teaching thinking it was easy .
and we have ended up with a lot of crap teachers when went to school
you looked up to them not today they look like yobs the way they dress

Well written Maggie, So much paperwork, and little flexibility and power for teachers to force children to learn.

They have to say everything is great, regardless of the reality.

Education: What remains after youve forgotten everything you learned

.

You are right nmamreh,
But you can indirectly force them to study by giving homework and examining during their course of study. Teachers have to follow guidelines which restrict them too much.

that is in correct teachers do have the power ,
they are just to useless to use it ,
and a lot of teachers tell this kids not to be walked over in life
but they are giving them false ideas most people have to bow there heads
or not get a job FACT ,let there parents tell them the facts of life not some
teacher fresh from uni as most of them no nothing about the way of the world .
and i tell you this for over 20 years i had a last year uni person come to my company for 12 months at a time and only found one with a brain.and he was irish from dublin

Ok Tanker we agree that there are bad teachers but the govt will not let the good teachers teach. Every year they say that O Level and A level results are improving but the truth is standards are falling. Grammar is not taught with emphasis you cannot ask children to correct spelling mistakes, in fact you cannot even mark too many of their spelling mistakes wrong that might lower their confidence, can't repeat tables - too boring! Twenty years ago my P7 class could have done today's O levels. There are plenty of good dedicated teachers they're just not allowed to teach! Probably agree about dress code but that's everywhere and maybe an age thing!
Ahoj You got it in one!

maggie . by your posts i would say you was a dam good teacher and respected.
my grand so is at uni doing maths to become a teacher and he is very clever
and i would say the reason for a lot of itis down to me .i got him in volved with my
dealing accounts at the age of 8 when i went away i would post on here and he would read the post and would no when to sell and would quickly work out the profit to sell at because i am not good on computers and when abroad would never put in my details .
