teachers were always someone to be thought of with the same respect as a doctor - a professional.
now they are not?
grrrr!

i guess your a teacher Phil?
I cant believe that they rank teachers alongside travel agents!
theres a guy i went to school with who was a complete waster and i just found out he is now a teacher - maybe its these guys who are driving your status down!

nah, im not a teacher.
but i think that they should be respected and should act like they deserve respect.
their job is very responsible - travel agent isnt! lol

prolly the 9-3.30 'grind' and the 60 days holiday a year maybe accounts for it
/devil's advocate
Don't get me wrong, my ma was a teacher, so I have plenty of respect for them

Am I missing something? That links to an article titled "Why women fall for 'Mr Average'" ?

The professions included high-status jobs such as architects and company directors, medium-status positions such as teachers or travel agents and so-called lower-status roles such as gardeners and postmen.

Dude, don't be talking like that when Katie is about or she'll be getting evil on you ... it's a sh*t job for sure and getting worse ... you need 60 days a year to recover from two weeks of neds giving you grief!
Cheers,
