Has anyone noticed, that when you take a perfectly good set of accounts - which make perfect sence, to the accountants. you get them back bearing no resemblance to anything that actually went on during the year?


I think they (accountants) have big witches couldrens out the back. they take the books, throw in a couple of rabbits or crows feet, stir it all up, whisper and chant a bit - then come up with this pack of lies that no-one else understands, but they make you sign it so that if the IR notice any of the lies they dont have a go at the witches.... sorry accountants, they just fine the good old businessman

Try teaching and have every tosspot, who couldn't hack it and got out, telling you how do do your job. Most of these people, (I'm being polite there),
are following instructions from politico bar stewards, who are determined to let the public know what a great job they are doing to "improve standards".
If I was stupid, and naive enough, to do what these prats thought was "best practice", I would have been dead years ago through physical, or nervous, exhaustion.
Ignore the buggers.
We have had how many Secretary of States for Education since 1997?
Begs the question, when did we have one against education?
Answer: every one of them, because they never listen to us.
Oh sod it , we've now lost the saviour Clarke.

No pedants please. I have just finished marking GCSE mocks and I am hovering between elation, for my G pupil, who has achieved an E, and sheer rage at the barm pot A pupil, who dug up a D.

After all that rant, I still think this is the best job in the world: for me.
I just wish the politics would stop, and we would allowed to teach the kids what they need, not what some dipstick thinks "they" (no name, no personality) should learn.

Oh bugger, I've wandered off the question.

If you don't like your job: get out. Life is too short. Not much sympathy for the "I can't, because of the mortgage". There is a price to be paid for most things in life. People have a choice, but choices aren't always easy.
I do hope everything does work out for you.
Jim.
Off to finish the vino>
