I love reading at that site, especially the opinion forum.

I'm now totaly convinced that unless teachers can rule by fear and inflict pain upon their charges they are totaly incapable of controlling young people. I am also of the opinion that there is another major problem with our schools which doesn't get mentioned - teachers. Not just poor performing teachers but the people we recruit as teachers.

Things are so bad in schools these days it is totally impossible to teach because they spend all their time on mob control.

I know years ago someone told me the only reason anyone becomes a teacher is because they could not hack it in the real world, and having done some reading there I could possibly begin to believe it.

hehehe yep it was a bit wasn't it?

A lot of it was tongue in cheek, if I realy felt that way about teachers there is no way I would want to be a TA.

I am surprised by how many want the return of the cane, or advocate zero tollerance. And yes I have seen posters use the word fear as a tool to controlling children. Though it also seems that those who most want caning back in schools simply see their role as dispensing information and want very little if anything to do with the development of young people. This alone is one very good reason I don't think I would make a good teacher.

But then perhaps that is role for class teachers, sen, pastoral leaders in secondary schools rather then the teachers themselves.
