Something to lighten the mood

That's when I was in the dunce set for maths, before the teacher decided I should go straight to the top set, which wasn't as easy going, and you got more homework.
I have to say, even when I was there, I got the feeling that the teachers genuinely cared about us kids, teaching was much more than just a job to them.

That's good for you, then. When I was 15 the teachers union here won the right to strike....by going on strike. It lasted 4 months, and unlike the recent pandemic, there were no contingencies for continuing education during the stoppage. I feel I was robbed of my 10th year of education, and at a young age learned that teaching is just another job, one with a very powerful bargaining chip....the students' education.

Yes, there are some good teachers, even great ones, but when it comes to remuneration, they can be union louts like anyone else.
