The positive attitude towards teachers always did puzzle me as everyone I've known universally say what *******s they thought their teachers were when they were pupils (an experience I also relate to). Seems the older we get, the more we appreciate the work teachers do.

But then you’re assuming that the four who’ve contributed to this discussion are representative GP...they aren’t...and being in the minority on here really isn’t ever a problem.

Personally I pretty much split my own teachers into three groups. Bullying tw@ts, incompetents and some of the best people I’ve ever come across. Funnily enough I though the same once I joined them...but it became easier to bring about change.

Ram...I think the operative word was ‘vulnerable’. I, rightly or wrongly, don’t consider all over 60’s to be ‘vulnerable’ and at no time have I ever suggested that teachers should have priority over the ‘vulnerable’, by which I mean those who’s medical condition/history puts them at extra risk...in case you’re confused.
