    Did you notice your Principal and Deputy Principal were not on the school premises a few days this week?

    Are you an ETB school?

    Did you realise that they were rubbing shoulders with the Golden Circle at their annual gathering in plush Wexford.No doubt you will hear of some new ideas on how to screw up your working conditions at the next staff meeting. Then Summer Hols arrive and all the extra you agreed to do will be forgotten by the time you return in August. And you know what, damn all will be challenged.You will roll over and have your tummy tickled and you will moan behind their backs but thats as far as you will take it!

    Realistically Teaching Unions should have a very strong, well attended meeting, just before the Summer break and again another at the start of the new school year to hammer home the fact that they will not sit idly by and let their members (us that pay their wages!) see working conditions deteriorate even further. Of course its not going to happen.I've noticed that there are less and less of the over worked teachers to be found now in schools,they are retiring and leaving the profession.Unfortunately what is left is in for a bloody rude awakening soon enough,if you have too many chiefs and not enough indians the place will implode.Its happening already in some schools.

    Spending lots of time and money on box ticking exercises and Post It notes has seen the teaching profession deteriorate incredibly over the past 5 years or so.Its fine ticking boxes if the actual groundwork is done but its not!

    The loss of the sincere,dedicated,caring teacher is not going to be replaced anytime soon.The Golden Circle do not realise its happening( or if they do they dont give a feck!),its not their priority,they have to ring fence whatever funds they can for themselves,you can never have enough pensions or remuneration for stuff you know f'all about but who cares! A root and branch restructuring of second level education by an independent external body is way over due.Time to get rid of the Hangers On,they have outstayed their welcome,made nice money out of it and the feckers are still looking for more................................
