Why are teachers up their own arse?

gailforecast

I know several teachers and they all seem to have this obnoxious condescending attitude. Is this something that develops through classroom exposure, or does teaching just attract mediocrity and a craving for power?

Thats what absolute power over 5 year olds does to you.

I know pretentious teachers and also know teachers who work really hard and get zero thanks from parents, students or society at large.

Teachers are important role models on impressionable young minds. I've never know an undergraduate who wanted to go into teaching who was bitter or in it for summers "off".

I did teaching for a time, and ended up studying medicine. Medicine is less stressful for me. I hated being 'on' all the time, despite being considered an extrovert by my peers.

Couldn't get the honours Irish, eh?

Does your mammy know your on the internet?

Don’t mean to condescend, OP, but you are aware this site has a search function?

Theres something like 70 000 teachers in the country. I'm sure we've all had a variety of experiences of our teachers, from the occasional awful ones to the occasional excellent ones, and the rest of them, the majority, who were average. They just get the job done without being memorable.

Carrying around a lot of anger towards teachers well into adulthood is probably not good for you.

Are they all in your school?
If so, the problem is you.

You just proved HIS point.

Teachers in general aren't like this. Some students are also arrogant and obnoxious.

Been both and seen both

Thank you for the valuable input.

One of my godparents is a teacher. Fecker never gave me a present in my life. Tight as a gnats chuff.

Hairy Japanese BASTARDS!

Teachers are overpaid and underworked leeches.

If I knew what I know now when I was 22 graduating from college I'd have done my teaching diploma.

It's too late to do it now. Taking two years out would cost me over 100 k in lost salary and pension contributions and health insurance subs.

Those doing science teaching at DCU have it even easier, a four year degree and teaching is combined into it, so no need to even do the pme.

Teachers should have to do admin work during the summer as part of their contract. Exam invigilation and correction should be compulsory and part of contractual work.

Over 70,000 teachers in Ireland, what do you think a representative sample would need be to make such a generalised comment.

Your job defines what you do, not the type of person you are. Pretty stupid statement to be honest.

When you were 22 you didn't know about school holidays. Nonsense.

The ECB couldn't print enough money to convince me to pursue a career in teaching.

I had a guy try to teach me how to fly-fish once and I'd say it was either his rod up his arse or mine, he was an obnoxious pretentious holier than thou casting instructor...

Flyfisher men are supposedly the elite in the angling world, he didn't approve of static and lure fishing...

No class and all that shoite

And the guaranteed pay increase year on year.

The iron strong unions.

The (almost) un-fireable jobs.

The potential for late starts and early finishes.

The lack of responsibility.

No performance reviews.

No accountability for poor performance.

No discipline for excessive absenteeism.

Cant be the salary anyway. Its not always the case that public sector pays better. Im in private and im on twice as much as some teachers I know. But a snobby attitude can come from all walks of life from people who perform a variety of jobs from sweeping the floor to head accountant of a big company so its certainly not the exclusive domain of teachers.

Is it just the Td's who were teachers you are talking about?

Gawd that's cute.

OP, just a heads up that the fat kids thread has died down a bit, maybe chuck a few posts in there to get it going again and entertain yourself for the rest of the evening.

You didn't know the salary and summer off before you turned 22? Were you sleep throughout your education years?

Did you get dumped by a teacher recently:)
Like all professions, some are great, average, stupid or lazy fcuckers. I've met all kinds in my line of work.
