Trans: The vast majority of teachers don't have teacher partners/spouses. So we know what 'other' people have to do to earn money. We rely on them, but we didn't choose the job for them, we're just glad they chose it when we're in the poo. The 'doddle' known as teaching is open to everyone, it's not some kind of closed shop.
Teachers getting the vaccine....more important workers than them should get it first.

I take my grandchildren to school every day and had lots of runnings with the "heroes".
They found a hard nut to crack when I threw the book at them and got the local mp to pull their ears.
I stand by what i said, in my experience with schools I have met mostly lazy teachers, especially since Lord Covid descended from heaven.
Of course not all are the same and I suspect that teachers of secondary schools are a lot busier than the primary.
You're right. It's having the brains AND the money that earnt them the right. White privilige ain't called that for nothing. Don't you just love that WP?
I read your previous post and it wasn't applicable then or now.
Apart from the random quote by you that one person you claim to know as a teacher is, in your view, is trying to portray themselves be a hero. No one else is making that statement...it's all in your head
If there was a break out of Ebola virus on your worksite would you say; "oh well I choose to work around other trades folks, so I must accept that I would be exposed to bugs". No you flipping well wouldn't... you'd be out of there like a shot. You'd then probably be down the pub claiming you were a hero for surviving it...
As noseall suggested, you're going on my ignore list now. Have a nice life!
My mother was a primary school teacher...every year when she went back in Sept she would get colds and bugs. Kids really spread infection, the younger ones don't use hankies and don't understand social distancing.
I realise we don't know how much children are vectors for covid, but given the increased transmissibility of variants, it could be a lot.
Teachers spend their day in classrooms surrounded by the same kids.
It's not unreasonable to think teachers could be at a fair risk.
As for Johnny thinking teachers are lazy...well let's see him go and teach for a day - standing up in front of 30 teenagers. He would need spare undercrackers

Primary school not so much.
I often look after the neighbours kids (a dozen and more) and take them everywhere.
All under 12 and easy to control with a big voice.
The idea is to teach them. Maintaining control is the easy bit.
I'm not a teacher, I can't teach.

The only time i had a doctor call out to my home (in the uk) was after getting a bug from my son, who caught something at play school. Thought i was going to die!

We also need to consider the practical issue of not vaccinating teachers, and teaching support staff.
Last year, schools closed because too many staff were isolating with covid (this happened to both my local schools). As far as schools are concerned, nothing has changed - most staff are under 60, many under 50, and therefore they will be likely to catch it again. And, when kids get it, they may not suffer badly (although I know children who do have long covid, and we are still only learning about this problem) but they too will go home, impacting on the school's ability to educate.
So, if we don't vaccinate teachers, there is a good change that schools will be closed again by May.

Wrong!
One thing virologists have agreed on is that you can't catch Lord Covid twice.
You can carry it like everyone else by touching contaminated surfaces, but not catching it twice.
With these mutations one might think that they catch another form of the virus but it doesn't work like that.
Unless you happen to listen to the pharmaceutical industry and "doctors" in their pockets, then you will need a vaccine every 3 months...
