I used to work at the local School as a secretary and I know, like any other job some teachers are dedicated and some are not. We had a great Head Teacher who moved heaven and earth to keep the school open. He was so admired by all the kids and the parents, he was a pleasure to work for. Of course, he was poached to go to a desk job by the region. When he left we got another Head Teacher. The first week he was there I went to speak to him, he was not in his class, the kids where alone, when I when to the staff room he was on the phone to a chemist in his previous town asking what the brand of bunion cream was he used to buy!!! I think you can guess that he did everything he could to get a day off. I am not knocking any good teacher but teachers are all not dedicated angels.
