Rate your old school teacher's

My secondary school is in, but my primary school isn't - even though the girls' school is!

I think this site is a disgrace TBH. There were teachers I didn't like alright, but naming people on the net and criticising them like that is very bad form IMO

I tend to disagree. Do you see those comments on that Science teacher? I am in 3rd year of college and he has been teaching since before I came. The man is a god damn fool and utterly incompetent. This is the only job where you can consistently retain your job for being useless, apathetic, absent or all three. Where else can people vent their rage? This teacher and indeed my Leaving Cert French teacher were complained about to the staff of the school who said their hands were tied and the Dept. of Education would do nothing. Now these guys were not hampered by unwilling or terrorising students. They just couldn't care less. Good enough for them I say.

There are some teachers who are downright incompetent and you're right when you say it is the only job where you can avoid the sack if you're useless, but there are a lot of good teachers out there too who could be on the receiving end of negative shít they don't deserve

I don't think a whole class of people will deliberately pick on a teacher & lie about him/her. Teachers have a chance to get good as well as bad ratings.

Its getting more common for people to leave other careers to re-train for teaching. Know few people myself. I think most are likely to go for secondary school as expectations for irish language are too high for primary.

In a double class of 80 minutes all of it was spent writing furiously. That was my Physics class. We didn't learn physics, just how to be efficient writers!!!

But didnt it stand to you? Id say that you've never used physics since, but you should be damn glad that you can write fast now

In fairness there are plenty of jobs where you can be useless and avoid the sack. Bad teachers are just easier to spot.
