There are all kinds of teachers - some who have been pushed to the limit by demands throughout this Pandemic. They have had to suddenly change everything and somehow teach possibly hundreds of students from home.
I work in education - although I am by no means, your standard teacher, I tend to deal with adults and with University students. I can state that my workload has quadrupled. I have had multiple arguments with my ridiculous management - who have just added further layers of bureaucracy onto the job. They are asking me to fill in twice the paperwork during this, plus continue with assessments and lessons as though absolutely nothing has happened.
Although, there are teachers who are sending out emails on a Monday and checking them on a Thursday/ Friday; with the ever vigilant administrators wanting all paperwork in triplicate - I can't imagine many are getting away with it, however.
Everyone has had to adapt to working from home, and there have been so many complaints about teaching, yet, frankly, who can work out how to teach 100s of people from home with whatever you have laying around the house? May not be quite the easy job you think. Politicians love to blame lazy teachers, but the difficulty is not the teachers or the teaching - it is the silly bureaucracy that jobsworth managers like to inflict on teachers. All in the name of the next league table or legal complaint. So little actual teaching anymore - more just meeting pre-prepared targets from people who have never been in a classroom.
Real shame that there is no actual learning or even just a bit of common sense.

Sorry Stirling, I just can't believe that!!

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

And what makes it more challenging is at the same time ideally you should pretend like you are enjoying it in order to avoid upsetting the person who asked you to join.

I had to go as well because for some reason my boy is fan of Abba. We went together.

Honestly speaking, not so bad. My problem is that i don`t like musicals. Only moments i enjoy is when they start talking properly instead of communicating to each other by singing. Which would be awkward reason to go to a musical.

In all fairness to you, I got dragged to the Riverdance and to Blood Brothers in The West End. I didn't mind Riverdance as I got well pissed up beforehand and it's kind of catchy (when drunk). Blood Brothers may as well just be the programme sellers at Anfield, fighting over a fifty pence coin. Cannot see the appeal in musicals but why women always like them is anybody's guess: much like most things to do with the minds of the (less rational) fairer (and obviously more evolved Becky) sex.

Red and Blue Army!

Seconded.

Btw Bowie was obsessed with Orwell's 1984

Yeah, but how can a novel written in 1948 have any relevance to the world we're living in today? you may ask. The technology was so primitive for a start.

WRONG !!!

If we can't open our eyes, at least apply a little common sense.

You're a braver man than me....I've always disliked that old Irish music and dancing (though I'm part northern Irish) and Riverdance looks like pretentious armless ballet to me.....tarts showing off.

And if you want to see a tart showing off you can't do better than Travolta.

As for Blood Brothers....listening to whining scousers singing for two hours....We already know what that sounds like.
