Socialising with teachers

juuge · 25-11-2007 09:40PM #1

A drinkin’ buddy of mine has begun dating a primary school teacher (female) and over the weekend he brought her to our local to meet the gang.
Anyway, she’s really annoying by talking louder than everyone else, pretends to know everything, wags her finger at you when she’s talking and has that Irish speaking squeaky accent, what a bummer. Are all teachers like that socially?

Buy a loud speaker and yell obviously wrong things into it while she is there. That will learn her!

I am a primary teacher and most of the girls in the training college I went to were just like any other 18 - 21 year olds. Country girls that go to Coppers, get twisted and run riot..

But seriously, I thought they were all sweet and friendly and down to earth. Hard working and organised. There were the occasional immature bitches, but that's just to do with being female.

All the teachers in the school I teach in are just dead sound and hilarious. Don't take themselves seriously at all. But they're young. I imagine older, experienced teachers are used to being the know it all boss and I guess can treat other adults as children.

As one friend of mine told me, as soon as she started telling her brothers to put their rubbish in the "bosca bruascar" she had to laugh and realise she has to switch off from teacher mode!

But no, all teachers are not like that scocially. She sounds like a prat.

one of my best friends is a secondary teacher and she is dead sound, sometimes can get a bit mental when on the p*ss though.

She claims that the majority of teachers she has tried to socialise with are stuck up their own a*s, basically they try to impress the principal by becoming mr or mrs perfect

I know a primary school teacher who looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Where were these teachers when I was in school?

Anyway, very nice girl and not loud or obnoxious at all.

I've heard that some primary teachers are men. Could be a rumour though.

Oh and I've also met a woman who knew everything, wagged her finger whilst talking and had an annoying accent. But she was a stripper.

Who woulda thunk that strippers and teachers would have so much in common?

You meet one teacher for one evening and you've already type cast her?

I know a few primary school teachers and they are normal people.

Here we go...
I was posing a question, not type-casting. You wouldn't happen to be a teacher now would you ?

the ratio now is 3 to 1 . (girls to guys, duh

come to think of it if they want to recruit more male teachers maybe they should broadcast that more loudly

:D

Hehe. It is a bit. Everyone looks at each post to point out grammar and spelling mistakes.

A relative of mine is a primary school teacher. She is a pain in the hole. She is so condescending and can't admit when she is wrong. I'd imagine she has a complex from spending her days with young kiddies. Big fishie.

MagicMarker · 25-11-2007 11:22PM

Primary school teachers are just those people who weren't smart enough to get into a decent course in college so had to go with the 'Arts' option:)

3:1 um.. more like 30:1

Fast_Mover · 25-11-2007 11:26PM

Arts?!! ('Would you like fries with that')
I didn't do Arts, so excuse you! (not that there is anything wrong with doing arts..)

In my teacher training college the ratio is 9:1 girls to lads..:D

Teaching course needs at least 440 points to get in depending on the college. In the TCD college affiliation it comes under the Humanities section of Arts. Not Arts.

YOU LIE!!

Catari Jaguar · 25-11-2007 11:34PM

No I don't! I got 460 in my LC, and needed 430 to get into my course and that was 4 years ago. You can't educate the youth of Ireland w/o a brain in your head. Of course, you could always go the Arts Degree and H dip route..

Anyways, back to talking about socialising with teachers.

Fast_Mover · 25-11-2007 11:41PM

When I did my Leaving Cert 2yrs ago I needed 465 to get into Mary I..yes, your right im not smart enough Magicmarker:rolleyes::p

I think there are (and I know one or two) teachers out there who are loud, bossy, and annoying when they are out..but perhaps thats the person inside them and not the teacher. All other teachers/student teachers I know are genuine, down to earth, understanding, up for a laugh folk..it's who they are.

Edit: I didn't offence at all MM..hense i just put in an extra smiley.:)

MagicMarker · 25-11-2007 11:44PM

Chill man, Lil Kitten didn't take offence, you shouldn't either.

Catari Jaguar · 25-11-2007 11:49PM

It's cool, there just seems to be a lot of teacher bashing on boards lately. Everyone had a teacher at some stage so therefore think they know all about it but are generally misinformed. But I don't mind. I get longer holidays than you all. Hah.

Do all teachers have a squeaky Irish accent scocially? Um.. From my experience I haven't found that no...

Toto Wolfcastle · 25-11-2007 11:57PM

I'd like to remind those of you who are bashing Arts that it was mainly Arts graduates that got your sorry asses through school!

In fairness, I'm doing the Dip, and there are some people in the course who you'd wonder about. They're mainly IT graduates though.

The teachers in the school I teach in are lovely. So funny and friendly. I can't imagine them being annoying on a night out.

In my course, however, there are some people who would just wreck your head. All high-pitched voices and 'I'm the boss' but you get that everywhere really.

I can kind of understand why some primary teachers might start acting like you described. I mean, I'd go mad if I had to spend a large portion of my day with little kids.

When I read the title of this thread, I immediately thought of a guy who was in my class in secondary school. I just found out that he's going out with a former teacher of ours. He's 22, and she would have been teaching us from 3rd year onwards. I think I'd find it so weird to go out with a past pupil. (Then again, I'm in an all-girls school so that's maybe the issue there!)

Ya, hear hear, I picked up six primary school teachers in my cab a few weeks back and they were all stunners and a right naughty bunch when I brought them back to their hotel later that night.....

I feel robbed.......

You know what, now that you mention it, I found the H Dippers in my college to be highly immature (for so called Mature Students), like talking and giggling during lectures and very anti-social and opinianated. When I was teaching in Africa I had to live with a bunch of other teachers and the Dips were nasty pieces of work. Very loud and bossy. We christened them the Dipsticks. Heh. No offence Jane!
