So,,,, getting away from the run of the mill cash, beer threads, without getting snipped...

My ex was/is a teacher. I don't envy the job one bit. She used to put some hours in...it's not 9-3 and 13 weeks off a year as some would believe.

It's more than 13 weeks if you teach in a private school...

Changed career 5 years ago to be a teacher. Lonely job sometimes. Tough but rewarding.

Most are generally canny.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

How did the ones who can, learn?

Its all they have, as its all they know.

No real life experience bless em.

Does working in a shop or a call centre give you more “life experience” than being responsible for a class of 30 juveniles and all their problems?

In a total surprise revelation, we discover that teachers are a mixed bunch, almost like they are just part of the general population.

You've got to love the OP 'getting away' from the usual subjects and then starting a thread having a dig at teachers. Incredible that it's never been done before.

How did the ones who can, learn?

From the ones who can't.

From the ones who can't.

Makes sense.
