I meant primary schools, where the teacher has pretty much full control of the timetable. High school is logistically challenging in that regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock watchers and "hourly rate" scientists get weeded out pretty damn quickly. Those left are obsessive about their careers and it doesn't stop for them when they leave the office. What should be more concerning to society is that the overwhelming amount of research in the UK is performed by people with less than 5 years experience, Don't get me wrong. They are the among the most talented people in society and are overseen by experienced Principal Investigators but most are on PhDs or are postdocs (1-5 years experience post-PhD) trying to nail their first permanent job having obtained their PhD. The Principal Investigators rarely do lab work. That's left to the most inexperienced people. That should concern people. As an aside, scientists use UK and EU grant money and then publish predominately in international journals (usually US-owned publications) who hide the results behind paywalls. So the public, who pay for the research to be done, then have to pay again to access the results. Elsevier is a big example. I remember reading that their profits were £35bn. A growing number of scientists are forced into using an illegal online service to access these papers for free. That scandal is for another day though. Elsevier are Dutch and starting to be so bad that they are being boycotted by some (Germany springs to mind) but yes, broadly what you are saying is correct the big publishers are making billions from research and locking away many of the results. Your point about illegal online services isn’t correct anymore though, most are legal now as they follow publishers copyright policy - making pre-prints and Author Accepted Manuscripts available with permission in institutional or subject repositories, even shit commercial ones such as academia.edu and Researchgate aren’t illegal. Likewise Research data sets are much more common now - it’s getting a lot better but we aren’t all the way there yet.

You would think the teachers are choosing to not work, it's as if NS has ordered them back and they have said no. Why single them out ? A: Because teachers were the only group of lockdown employees being made out to be martyrs, weeping in anguish that they can't get to a classroom and teach the country's precious young minds. And they're also good for a meltdown when their relative inactivity is correctly added to their already existing laundry list of holidays.

Just curious, given your obvious expertise on the subject. I think it would be good CPD if I were to come and observe you teaching as well, seeing at you're an expert on the subject.

Do you have any empirical research or evidence to back up your fanciful notion that we're all skiving? At worst, we're working our contracted hours for once.

peasy23 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'm looking forward to the shortage in teachers in certain subjects being filled by all the posters that think it is a doddle. If you can teach home economics you could virtually pick where you want to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
