This is why I am not a teacher...

I would probably do it too... other people's children annoy me. 

 

Teacher Priscila Davo Ortega suspended after sticky-taping mouths of giggling 10 year olds

 

A PRIMARY schoolteacher has been suspended for cellotaping over the mouths of her 10-year-old pupils after they refused to stop giggling and talking.

Priscila Davo Ortega, 27, allegedly lined up more than 20 children during her art lesson and put layers of sticky tape across their lips because they were being too noisy.

At least I can admit I could not handle it.... a good teacher is soooo underpaid. I wish we could afford to pay them double what they get. 


Thay are not underpaid in Qld.  Don't know about Britain.


they aren't? good teachers are underpaid........................ for the hours they put in.

We ate lunch out today, I wanted to slap the Mother of a child of about 15 months, she sat and texted on her phone and allowed the child to run riot during the entire time we were eating, the child managed to cause the waitress a nervous breakdown, and my OH to have fire escape his ears. On 2 occasions she stopped texting and put him in a chair, but by the time she picked up her phone to resume her more important task, he was off again.


OMG this makes me furious.

And you see it more and more now. Parents too busy on their phones to pay attention to their kids.

 

Theres even a Woolies ad on tv now showing a mum at a park with her young child playing nearby and the Mum is on the phone doing her shopping online.

Helloooo, what ever happened to watchi8ng and playing with you kid?

I hope your parents inflicted career wounds on your teachers.
