Not worth even trying, if you had any true experience you would realise how silly you are sounding.

SRSport

Oh come on people didnt you see this coming? This is where its been going all the time. Side stepping valid points while angling towards the opportunity to spout the usual working time/pay etc etc biased clap trap that has made PSL so bitter about working what he believes is a little longer than teachers. Do we really have to endure this again?

I know maybe we could have another moan about charities next week, that will be fun.

pslewis

It IS worth trying if you have a good case ...... EXACTLY what part of my post was in error?

If you fail to respond on this we can all assume that you are talking utter rubbish!

We had to attend primary school in all weathers even 3 foot snow drifts & walk it we didn't have the luxury of turning up in a state of the art Range Rover.

To get to my Grammar school I had to catch 2 buses & that included a 1 mile walk for the first bus once again in all weathers.

There is a fine line between a reason & an excuse, there was no validity in schools being cancelled period!

Ok then Blinkers...

You know best.

pslewis

On the contrary!!!

I am saying that Teachers and other School Staff should get in 1 Hour EARLY and clear the school for the kids ............ I am NOT saying clear snow instead of Teaching!

But, it would only be done if the Teaching Staff 'wanted' to give something back ...... as I said earlier - the Head/Governors can only tell Teachers what to do for 26 Hours a week!!

Unlike the real world where most are told what to do for 40 hours a week!!

Haha ok Blinkers your even more immature than I had first thought.

Good way to be taken seriously..

Yes, i hear what your saying . But what about lesson planning, staff meetings, school clubs , marking books , etc. Im in work at 6,30 to get ready for staff from 7.20 till 1855 and most work those hours

You're talking/typing but not putting up any defence, not one issue have to taken up to dispute ....... you are a muppet without substance, end of - go away or fight your corner.

Warning .... I know far more about the Education system than you.

And the legend reels another one in It's like shooting fish in a barrel

pslewis

Well, I'm not sure which School you work for - but that's highly unusual.

Only the Senior Management Team 'may' be still in school at 7pm (if they have a Governors meeting) ..... but then the SMT get paid £60,000+ and should be working normal hours.

Your just too entertaining. Sad bassttarrd.

SRSport

I dont.
Anyway I thought this thread was all about 'failing to respond', avoiding points and jumping on the smallest opportune statement to vent personal issues.

PSL its not healthy to be so consumed by irrational hatred of teachers, let it go, let it go.

mrmadcap

That's hand in hand with your Labour Party

SRSport

I find it very reassuring that he votes Labour.

pslewis

I assume by the 96 in your name you were born in 96?

That goes some way, and offers you a way out, to explaining why your argument is so lame and insulting.

Ahem ... it's you're.... I bloody well hope you're not an English teacher

pslewis

OK, that's Davey96 put in his place - in the corner with a Dunces hat on.

Back to why are schools closed for no real reason?

Sos my bad. 17.55

pslewis

Well, you're not a Teacher then with a 96 Impreza Sport ......... you the janitor at the school, maybe?

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

"my bad"? Please don't tell me you're a teacher!?

Genuine question:
What is the official reason for why schools are closed for bad weather?

pslewis

I did wonder!

Most Schools see the Teachers long gone at 3:30pm ....... whoooooosh, away they go!!

pslewis

Someone above suggests that the Bus Company told the School to close!!! Priceless .........

Engineer actually, not in a school.

My argument is how bigoted you must be to assume the hrs a teacher is at the school translates into them not having a proper job.

Nothing to do with planning lessons, homework, marking, loading with social services, being bound by so much red tape and "PC madness" it would make your head swell. At the same time as doing an incredibly influential job, most people always remember a good teacher from their youth.

I have a huge amount of respect for teachers.

If your jealous maybe you should be looking at your own life.

With regards to closures I expect an awful lot of weighting on the old Elf and Safety!

kevo10

My, how american. im a site manager and?

kevo10

As for the official reason for school closures. Not down to me im afraid. Head takes it on advicement from other staff (senior staff) and Governors
