Deanna - it was parents like you who helped to make the job rewarding. There were always, and please God, always WILL be, mums and dads who share in the life of the school community in some way. Not everyone has a lot of time to give but the occasional friendly contact means a lot. You are perfectly correct. Some teachers had/have few 'people' skills and probably should not be in a classroom. My own experience tells me that they seldom last long, as the job simply becomes impossible without such skills. I always said that once I ceased to enjoy teaching, I would stop as it was not fair to the children, or to myself. Well, I stopped a year ago, as I felt I was getting too old and out of touch, but I don't regret the years I spent working with children. I only regret the poor standing given to teachers in the public eye. Sorry to get hot under the collar - I don't usually |

I have fond memories of many of my teachers, although there were a couple of real GITS. There was a chap called Bundy, who frankly was a complete A**hole. As for sports teachers, I wasn't particularly talented in any sport, but was always enthusiastic, so didn't incurr the wrath of any teachers.. The was one that wasn't universally popular, but I liked him, a chap called Hunter.. imagine my surprise when I saw him on Sky Sports recently - he's head coach of the England under 18 football team (or something along those lines). |

I love all of your anecdotes. The only thing I don't like about Pe ios cross-country and dancing. I mean why are we doing dancing in PE?? lol. We have to do it every year to practise for the school dance which I don't go to anyway and it bores me. I don't like cross-country because grumpy teachers make us do cross-country while they just record times and drive around the course in their cars. One day we had to go out in a hail storm! Some of the teachers do take part ( the younger ones), but the others are too old and unfit to do it! lol. Well this is the last year I have to do PE! Thank God for that! lol :-) Lucia |
