You have it so tough. I've got out of the classroom. Had enough of it.

My son came out of school starving everyday, so we gave up on the free meals and went back to packed lunches. Have you emailed Nick Clegg?

As usual, people attack teachers for having wages and holidays rather than noticing that the government cutbacks are to blame for increasingly poor education.

I've got out of the classroom. Had enough of it. Nick: you are SO right. Much not being said about Education with definite increase in teachers leaving the profession due to worsening employment terms and conditions e.g. the older & more experienced staff members being forced out through subjective capability charges because younger are cheaper to recruit (although a growing number drop out after a few years when they fully recognise and resent workload involved) at a time when budgets ARE being pared back. At least 8% cut backs, according to Institute of Fiscal Studies. Much corruption occurring also within our Academies e.g. fiddling of data; HMI etc. Vacancies aren't even being filled in some schools. Have a read of the following case study to REALLY appreciate what is going on: I'll be the first to state that other jobs are naturally extremely demanding; poorly paid etc and they should have their employment rights protected as well, as opposed to increasingly abused. But PLEASE in the meantime, don't judge teachers until you at least really know and understand the workings of the profession.

I'm still teaching like the sad git that I am.....As has been said most teachers are lefties....I'd say about seventy maybe eighty percent...But I'm one of the dissenting few on that score. That doesn't mean that I don't recognise many of the completely mad aspects of teaching.......Anyone who even for a moment thinks that teaching isn't broken should try it. There are plenty of vacancies for them to apply for. Your usual modern day teacher is a lefty, selfish, self absorbed & righteous, control freak....To a certain extent the job makes them like that....Some are great, some are awful and some know less than sixth form. To be more precise I know I'm just describing a similar vision of the 'dog eat dog' world of the workplace of many jobs and professions. The so called 'wa*kers' who can excuse their behaviours as just looking to 'get on'. I just never expected to find so many of them in teaching. I blame Ken Clarke.

Both Andrea Leadsom and Boris Johnson have been deliberately handed cabinet positions where they'll be challenged to prove their BREXIT populist status - i'll bet that the bookies have them as favourites to be sacked first thereby revealing themselves as the numpties that they really are and how completely out of their depth they have fundamentally become. Happy to drive the electorate off a cliff in the process as well. Justine Greening as new Education Secretary interests me. She has surely been give the brief to engage with the unions and the workforce at large, and to start her tenure in a process of 'listening'. In the meantime, DfE continues to advertise for additional Academy brokers so as to twists the arms of other councils. This in a week when Sutton Trust and Education Think Tank concluded that Academies were no better than Local Maintained. However will DfE continue to bully Head Teachers via stealthy back door style?

Saturday morning and I forgot to check for mistakes. Will stay behind for detention that consists of forced listening to Nicky Morgan's most convincing speeches to the teaching profession = VERY short detention!

I did a PGCE and gave it up in the end as most of the other teachers seemed to be under the impression that because they suffered during training you should too.

The way the PGCE is structured is mad....hardest thing I ever did. It's an ineffective way to greet and keep teachers in the profession.

Morgan was a Cameron 'yes wo-man' careerist....happy to see her downfall even if she was slightly shaggable. Gove went far too much the other way and ended up as a massive back stabber. I should think there are few tears for either of them.
