I have just been informed that a teacher in Scotland has been sacked for incompetence! And not before time. I have never claimed to be a great teacher. I did my job and if results are anything to go by, I was successful. Pupils wanted to come to my classes for no other reason that I passed on the info that would get them through the exam. And it did. Nowadays, as a supply teacher, I see so - called teachers sit with their backs to the class while they play around with their computers. My daughter hates her English lessons because the teacher starts them off on, for example, a worksheet, and then turns her back on the class while she works at her computer. I know that this happens, not only in English, but in many subjects across the curriculum.
As a teacher and a parent, I have decided to take a stand. Enough is enough! My children go to school to be taught - not to be ignored while the teacher does whatever he or she does with the laptop. If you have children at school, ask them what happens in their classrooms, and if it is not, in your opinion, to their educational advantage, then do something about it. Tell the powers that be that you are not happy with the situation and want to see improvements.
