"Schools are 'employing bouncers' "

Or, alternative headlines: "Recruitment Agencies and the media employ liberal arts graduate wankers who can do nothing but perpetuate stereotypes". Or, "Breakdown in education system means there aren't enough teachers and the those responsible for employing them aren't doing their jobs in getting the right people". No, sadly not snappy enough.
OK, so I most probably associate with the more professional, literate, qualified and experienced end of the door supervisor scale, rather than the jacket fillers but the above article really does make me cross. I think I'm mostly cross though that the schools are failing their pupils so very badly by not providing appropriate cover when required. And yes, I do remember how much of a hard time supply teachers got given at school but that was because they were mostly useless.
Teachers in schools, with the requisite wide range of skills in teaching, development, discipline, care and encouragement, they are what's needed.
