And that's another term over!

[PrincessBandit]

Lol, I had a real quiet day today. Yay, assembly last period so no students for me (although I got the job of locking up the music dept.) Shoulda come over to see you Justin to see if you had any spare food! Oh and of course for a natter. Two weeks. YAY!!! I've been hanging out for these holidays

[Usarka]

Gijoe is the Term-inator! You'll be baaaaack.

[Gremlin]

Everyone lock up your roads... gijoe is on the loose...

Wait... he probably already is stealing them, grab them while you can, so he can't get back to Auckland... there's a good kiwi!

and you lot probably think I am joking... I believe Welly is one trip, and the South Island another

[peasea]

yep

come on a job share with one of us and see if you need a break after 10 weeks!!! at school at 6.30am twice this week and still there at 8.30pm twice as well. then we get to go home and prep for the next day!!!

I'm at a primary school at 7.30am every day, sometimes earlier. Wanna compare notes? I'm up for that. I might warn you that I'm a parent and a staunch supporter of common sense.

Bring it on.

[EJK]

It's end of an era!

I've been teaching for about eight years now and before that did all sorts of jobs: truck driver, postman, factory worker. Whatever they were at least those jobs ended when you clocked-off. Joe Public don't get how much there is to teaching besides the time you're actually standing in front of the kids. Did I really train, unpaid, for five years for this....?

I'll be back in a few days before the students return but in the mean time am definitely going to clear my head of all school crap for at least a week and finally put some miles on this new bike.

[Kwaka14]

Teachers are a bit soft, must agree, too much time on their hands etc.

Oh, watch the fireworks................

I'm not a teacher, but my father is, no way the old boy is soft, pushing 65 and been beaten up twice this year, yet he still goes back.... too hard to change jobs at that age.

[ManDownUnder]

Joey baby - you play with children for a living, have more leave in a term than some of us have had in 10 years - and you are bitchin'.
HTFU.

:-P

...HTFU doesn't hold that much weight when it comes from someone who's job is to be gifted a ride on every new motorcycle that enters the country...

... and get a haircut...

This is KB, it is for the purpose of bleating! ... and every time I read an article with the moniker "Big Dave" on it, I can only think "lucky bugger"

Kids ask me, if'n I like bikes so much why don't I get a job in the bike industry, me answer is "I've been court sentenced to either 20 years in prison or become a teacher..."

Ahh the looks on their faces ...

Then they ask me what for? My reply? "I'm not meant to be within 300 feet of kids, but meh, the gubbermint needed more teachers..."

The looks on their faces after that? Priceless!

When I've ridden around the world or summit, I'll write my memoirs then ...

It's called a job. As it happens I work in a primary school, I see things.

I recon most people work pretty hard at their job to earn a decent wage. I only get fed up with my job being talked down or generally 'dissed' when I put so much effort into it.

BTW primary kids scare me - give me a teenager every time!

People diss each other all the time, get over it.

I never said you didn't work hard, good on ya, I do too.

As an aside, if you want to get some sympathy you've come to the wrong place.

no sympathy looked for, I will only post if interested by thread or think I can add something. Knowing KB, people won't hold back with their opinions!
