There is only one reason the schools aren’t open:

Teacher Unions.

Doesn't matter what the suggestion is.......not even talking about de Covid malarkey.......anything related to work actually.

The teachers unions only ever object, never have a solution, its their only reason for existing.

Round of sackings would shake up that aspect of our education system.

My sister is a teacher she is based in northern ireland but works in the south.
She thinks it's madness, she deals with troubled students on a one to one basis mostly.

Amanda will be out for the rest of the year.

How many of these wusses won't go to the supermarket? Surely that's as dangerous

No time for these whingers

I know 6 teachers. 4 primary and 2 secondary. All are actively teaching via zoom/seesaw etc. They all hate these methods. They would rather be teaching normally.

They are not happy with having to attend currently due to the exceptionally high community transmission.

I don't blame them.

Absolutely.

This saga goes to show the power of the public sector unions. And people try to say the "right" - whatever that is - controls this country.

I was talking to a friend of mine last weekend who teaches in an autism unit in a primary school. The teacher and the SNAs working there were more than happy to go in so the 5 kids could go to school.

Some teachers are doing what they can, despite union advice/position. I know of one primary teacher who visits and helps 2 autistic children, daily.

BPKS

Put the teachers on the PUP and they won't be long making the union change their mind.

jetfiremuck

easy to solve the issue. Give the special needs kids and teachers who teach them the Jab and be done with it.

Sadly I'm old enough to have paid to see it in the cinema!

It's on regularly on one of the satellite channels (maybe Sky One?). Might give it a look some time, but probably not - TLJ annoys me, as does Colm Meany, and does Gary Busey, and that's before I get to...........

The scene was burnt in to my teenage mind.

That film is some of Seagals most thoughtful and interesting work, an insightful performance with real feeling, vastly underrated.

Teachers know what a crappy job they have to go back . Theyll have their work cut out for them.

Don't you worry caller .... there'll be a union objection with regard to vaccinations as well, just you wait.

Whoy do they always moan, give out and rarely have solutions or positive suggestions. Has Joe asked them to work through mid term or Easter yet?

Joe is getting sick of the teachers, and rightly so

If the teachers don't want to go back they should all be put on the PUP. In reality, they probably should all have been on it as soon as the schools closed, if they had been treated the same as the private sectors workers.

No wonder she wants to go to work. She probably lives at home so she is sick of seeing her father at home everyday (expect between the hours of 1 and 3.30).

McDermotX

Then drop your union love......if there's so many who want to work, then act FFS.


Because that percentage sounds pretty concrete
