Election Year or Fear!

[ramAnag]

You're living in the past rA, most people have second jobs. My (4) teacher friends are also private music and maths teachers and PTs, I think one is an interior design consultant too. I know 3 doctors, they all do private work as well as their salaried employment.

and stop with the lack of belief of my anecdotes, its a childish habit of Swales'you've picked up but to quote one of your favourite phrases 'you're better than that'.

On the subject of remuneration, I don't agree, they have a four year contract and if they want to create or continue life-long revenue streams so be it.

‘Most people have second jobs.’ Really?

With respect, AF, not living in ‘your world’ doesn’t equate to ‘living in the past’. I’d wager I have, and certainly have had, a great deal more ‘teacher friends’ than you. Of all of them - a great many more than four - I can think of two who have separate income streams via rented property, one who was a professional musician, one who used to run weekend discos and one who used to earn a bit of extra money selling perfume at Christmas. The vast majority have their hands more than full just keeping up with the demands of the job. Like you I do know doctors, though not as friends, who do private work alongside their salaried employment though that has always seemed a tad morally questionable to me.

After your performance this week you’re really in no position to lecture anyone about ‘childish habits’ and, despite your obsession, I’ve picked nothing up from Swale and was just ‘joshing’ about your anecdote, although seeing as, by your own admission, it related to just four teachers and three doctors it’s hardly representative is it?
