Teachers get "End of term presents" now do they?
Both my parents were teachers (now retired) all the extra thanks they got for dealing with the little scrotes was the occasional house egging and the odd threat with a knife/fist from older brothers/Knuckle dragger Dads at the school gates…
And who the hell are the ATL anyway? NUT or NASUWT I’d maybe listen to but this lot?
Don’t think they ever got any actual gifts from parents… what’s the point when you can just confiscate their little darling’s ipod?
Teaching despite it’s obvious perks is a thankless job, Government, Parents and Tabloid press are largely out to score points and do the profession down these days, a couple of Mars bars at the end of the year for coaxing a Thicky through their GCSEs is hardly on the same scale as duck houses and 2nd home flipping is it….
