Looking forward to the abundance of opinion pieces and media coverage this will get over the next two weeks...

You know what?, I'm just gonna say it... The teachers of today, not all, but a helluva lot, are absolute trash.

And this is based on first hand experience and observation. It's like anyone can become a teacher these days, there is no bar or minimum standard.

Get rid of all teachers.

Problem solved..

Parents can start teaching their own offspring.

To be fair 30 years ago the teachers I had were not all that awe inspiring either...
Then again if you were a stoute kaboute you received punishment...
There was no craziness like I see today...

Im sure there are a few good 'uns...but for the majority its just an occupation...
(Maybe some measure of danger pay is needed these days....:laugh:)

My kids teacher makes a bunch of tik tok videos, jumping around half naked and acting all crazy then expects the kidsat school to respect her. It does not work that way.

Yup, there's some crazy **** that goes on in the public school system.

Some examples:
/story_time

When I was in Matric (this was during high lockdown), in my friend's class, they took some sanitizer, sprayed one of the tables and lit it on fire. They struggled to get it out, but they did. Did it in multiple classes.
When I was in Gr 10, the Matrics of that year put condoms in the bathrooms, and people blew them up, filled them with water and used them as water balloons. Someone even put one on my water bottle (luckily an Aquelle bottle you buy in the shop), and I left it at school...
