Yes, BTDT, too. I'm not a manager, never will be. Lots of people say I

You have to be thick to be a manager, but you have to be really thick to
be a teacher. While working at a primary school, I never came across any
degree teacher, other than the head and deputy, that were not slow of
the mind and *I* am not up to the standards of Paul Merton and co.

The teaching assistants are better than the graduates, but one floored
me when the 4 pupils that she was doing a 1 to 4 with asked her what a
fore shore was. I was amazed that she didn't know.

What type of work were you doing in the primary school?

You cannot change a lightbulb in an occupied classroom.

I believe it.

When I was at school, they were spraying charged fibre roof insulation in
the middle of the lessons.

Many kids though it was amusing to get a belt of the charge ring on the
big pipe that was draped across the corridor and up into the loft hatch.

And one kid climbed into the roof. No one saw him go up.

We saw him come down though, in my class, through the ceiling tiles,
landing arsefirst onto the shelf in front of the blackboard (high ceilings
too, those classrooms).

He managed to pick the time our teacher had buggered off for a fag or
something, so he limped off. Someone told the teacher, who basically said
"silly sod shouldn't have been up there".




I should add, this was middle school, age 8-12.
