Teacher looking for job in Uk

[Arthur Little]

It is true Arthur, that there are so many dedicated and wonderful teachers in the Phils, and surviving on peanut wages too.

Compared to here they also manage to produce well-behaved, disciplined, yet happy kids. Smartly turned out despite their poverty.

Such a shame that our system seems only to be able to turn out scruffy disrespectful brats by comparison....not all, but a LOT.

wholeheartedly ... on both counts!!

My stepkids now...all grown up.

I'm so happy for them.

[Arthur Little]

Their mother had a lot to do with it too.

... but there's no need to be modest, mate ... I imagine your guiding influence paved the way to their success.

My little horrors:

Ah ... but I'll bet you're soooooooooo proud of them! Lovely photo, too ...

My stepkids now...all grown up.

I'm so happy for them.

... and so's this one.

by far most kids in the uk are decent and i've come across some outstanding deicated teachers thru the years in the UK.

Arthur i think naric is totally independent of the gov, i think they look at how many study hours and years of study were taken to gain the degree.

[grahamw48]

I think that depends on your definition of 'decent'.

How often do you use Facebook, go into a school or college or go into town after 7pm ?

I think standards of behaviour and decency are at an all time low...both parents and children.

Hardly surprising when you see the tasteless garbage that is put on our TV screens purporting to be kids programmes, advertising, or 'family entertainment'.

REAL family values are virtually non-existent in this country now, half the kids at school come from broken homes, often foreign children can speak and write better English than our own, consuming enormous quantities of alcohol, and smoking pot appear to be acceptable throughout society, etc,etc.

What is a parent with SOME principles supposed to do against this onslaught ?

I know, let's import a few THOUSAND Filipino teachers to show this country the true meaning of 'decency' and morality.

Sorry Joe...rant over.

i was unlucky enough until recenlty to use public transport to get to work and back home at the school rush hours, sure some of the kids are and , but most are decent enough to say thank you to the bus driver

oh i agree with most of what you say, but i dont think the rot is as bad as you think

you mean cathloic school teachers
