It makes me very reluctant to go on courses or take time off, knowing that when I get back, the work which I've set up, and taken hours to prepare haqsn't been done, and all the kids have done is play on the internet while the lazy sod of a reliever has sat behind my desk and caught up on his emails.<br />To be fair, many of our newer crop of relievers are not like that, and I'll keep trying to bring in relievers who can cope and will get the kids to follow our work as set.<br /><br />MoE: Don't worry, we all feel irrelevant now and then. For example, I felt really irrelevant yesterday when I found out that a young madam who swore twice at me in my class, was coming back into the same class after she had had a "restorative meeting" with Ringo. As the injured party, I had expected to be included in the <i>restorative</i>, but this just emphasised my feeling of irrelevance nad reinforced my preconceptions that almost all restoratives are a complete waste of f*cking time. <b>See the link to Universal Domination at the top of this blog.</b>Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-38217665267312145342010-08-10T21:28:46.070+12:002010-08-10T21:28:46.070+12:00Sometimes when students ask me if I like teaching ...Sometimes when students ask me if I like teaching I tell them that I'm actually the caretaker and I'm just filling in. I'm not sure why this came to mind when I read your post. Something to do with feeling irrelevant and relief teachers I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-61060016940375768482010-08-10T17:18:34.615+12:002010-08-10T17:18:34.615+12:00I hate setting relief that does not get done, that...I hate setting relief that does not get done, that is why I set stuff I don't give a rats arse about, then when it is not done I don't tear my hear out or cry. I have another interesting 'teacher' in my class at present the trainee teacher - they are worse than a relief teacher, they sit there taking notes about what you are doing, all the time thinking that they can do it better.Fflurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321557945039433951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-12822027247966578792010-08-10T06:36:11.116+12:002010-08-10T06:36:11.116+12:00We sometimes have a relief priest at church.

Maybe he's just a bit nervous and needs more practice.Angry Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255869502702105832noreply@blogger.com
