Be a Teacher - Failed in real world

[310sucks]

laugh all you want, but I'm still getting wanked off by your 15 year old daughter.

[RelativelyHostile1]

I used to be a teacher like him, then I took an arrow to the knee...

[ca34jun]

As a teacher I LOVE ,every single one of their skits on this subject!!

The same thing can be said for any profession, its just that its so much easier to blame other people than ones parents for how they were raised by the school system and what they learned..

Lets admire movie stars and sports players instead and the world will be a better place!! :-)

[Soloxable]

all teachers are awful, and really sensitive about how awful they are

[eeldergill]

Why not? And that's when I became an actor.

[uzavas]

im seriosuly thinking about teaching english overseas and i think this is funny to...so what if there is some truth to it.lol

[Xbox360shenmue]

@uzavas You're thinking of teaching English overseas when you can't even use the correct version of to/too/two in a sentence?

[uzavas]

@Xbox360shenmue fortunately u dont need to be a grammar guru to teach the language, speak read and write are the requirements i'm pretty sure plus this is youtube im not trying to focus everything i type...thanx for your concern

[UltimaJay5]

@uzavas If you don't know the rules of grammar, how can you be expected to know the rules of phonemes, graphemes, digraphs and trigraphs? Which are not required to be taught in the National Curriculum.

[agdtk5]

@UltimaJay5 If they are not required to be taught, then why does it matter? Also, your last sentence is not whole. It would stand as a subordinate clause, but not alone. I wouldn't normally consider correcting other people's writing, because I am no more perfect than anyone else, but I always find it irksome when people correct others and then get it wrong themselves.

[FannyApricot]

@agdtk5 Burn!

[TheClockworkPenguin]

i don't think its against teachers, but at the time this was made the govt. was doing this policy of allowing Business men to become teachers after about 6 months training, so its taking the piss out of that. As with most topical jokes, it doesn't seem to have aged very well.

[littlesmew]

Hate to say this but 7 ppl are probably secondary school teachers. Look on the bright side at least you're not shufflin sound if your slippers Amy more LOL

[ticketyboooo]

Hate to say this but 7 ppl are probably secondary school teachers- but at least you don't walk round house in your slippers Amy more LOL

[kpbarrow]

7 People failed in the real world.

[Maxtaxifromhell]

An old proverb: Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.

[grailchaser]

@Maxtaxifromhell

Actually, the original proverb is from Aristotle is a much more interesting:

"Those that know, do.

Those that understand, teach."

[curzmg]

@grailchaser But that was in favour of teaching... Aristotle was a teacher.

[grailchaser]

@curzmg Yes. Yes, it was in favour of teaching. That's my point. His misquote has been used for far too long to bash the very people who have taken the trouble to teach.

[curzmg]

@grailchaser Yes too right. I will often misquote it for fun but when it comes down to it I wish all the best to every teacher, fuck me I couldn't do it.

[CaptainJohnKeel]

@Maxtaxifromhell And those that can't teach, take P.E.

[BRADERZ2008]

has anyone noticed this is the same spot where either fonejacker or facejacker cant remember did a prank tour guide on that part of London

[quantomintomentum]

lol. the funny thing is, I just quit my PGCE in history because I realised it seriously wasn't for me on any level. Not only do I not give enough of a crap about History, but I literally don't want to spend my life working my balls off for a cause I don't feel is worthy enough of my time.

So, teaching can't really be a last resort thing. It's actually one of the hardest jobs I will ever see. I'm going to be a regular pleb like everyone else now. The 'real world', whatever that is, is easy.

[ellameister]

I am a teacher and I don't like this- not because it's insulting to teachers- but because it's just not funny.

[HoosierMF]

@ellameister It is funny if you've been taught by teachers who fit this description

[ellameister]

@HoosierMF Hi then I feel sorry for you if you were! There certainly are some square pegs in teaching- I've met a few.

[HoosierMF]

@ellameister The worst was one of my science teachers who brought in a pig heart and sheep eyes to show how they work. Guess what got thrown around the classroom a few minutes later... I still have my exercise book with dried sheep eye juice on it!

[ellameister]

@HoosierMF

Goodness me. One of my science teachers had it in for me- I didn't know the Welsh Wonder was also a strict chapel firebrand and so when I said 'Oh for God's sake' when frustrated by yet another pointless experiment with test-tubes and chemicals that made me feel faint he went berserk and bollocked me for being a blasphemer!!!

[HoosierMF]

@ellameister Haha, from what I hear it's the teachers who have to watch what they say now

[ellameister]

@HoosierMF You're not kidding. I however am lucky. I escaped the comprehensive school world and went over to the other side- a Harry Potter school. Comfortably old-fashioned and I never have to lose my temper with kids any more!

[dazzzzz89]

@ellameister nobody cares

[baddmanaz]

the laugh track is crucial to indicate the punchline.

[Leaphchausew]

Plenty of my colleagues hold good degrees from top universities because the teaching profession requires talented people. I'm not going to feel sorry or anything negative towards any of you for being so cynical either. Furthermore, I do have a sense of humour but I also defend things which I love -- there's nothing wrong with that.

[Leaphchausew]

I have a great sense of humour. I'm just stating a fact. In addition, a lot of teachers have Firsts from top universities because excellent teaching demands excellent people these days. I'm not going to apologise or feel bad for defending something I love. Note how I haven't insulted a single one of you either by doing so.

[wierdwesterner]

@Leaphchausew Having a first class degree means you are academic, not intelligent or any good at teaching (which is an entirely seperate skill in itself).

One such person I know has a first class masters degree, but is becoming a "Business Manager" in a school because his Year 5 class run riot and his boss wants him out of the firing line for their next Ofsted inspection. This gimp is being fast-tracked for a Headteacher's role, and doing this is the only way he can "justify" his cushy salary.

[steviejamify]

It's a shame they didn't give you a sense of humour and irony with that degree you numskull !!

[chrisnouvelle41]

@steviejamify YES IT'S BLOODY HILARIOUS!

[Leaphchausew]

Not really. I just state facts.

[Leaphchausew]

I have a first class degree in English from Oxford and I proudly teach in a good comprehensive. This sketch is funny but should be taken with a pinch of salt.

[angrylaserhobo]

Obviously.

[sickhead1795]

@Leaphchausew That makes no sense. Your degree, if you really have one, must've come from a cereal box.

[simcityfan3]

We need more teachers over here in the us. Our education system has been a horrible atrocity in the recent years

[cheng4PM]

i would of thought with the amount of aussie teachers going to your country to teach it would of been problem solved

[simcityfan3]

I know, on would think so. Damn, iPhone predictive text.

Well, maybe in the large, more educated areas, it has taken some effect. Unfortunately, I haven't found any. From NYC to LA to the middle of nowhere, people are stupid, disgusting, shallow, arrogant, proud, disgusting, slobbering, drugged, fat, lazy, fools.Maybe if it were the uk, Europe or even Mexico (yeah right... Mexico). Why happened to America?! Oh wait, it was always a shithole from day one.

Thank God I was born in Canada.

[whymytie]

my friend didn't get accepted to med school after attening mit, he didn't have any money left for further education he became a teacher

[chocolatefountain95]

It makes me wanna film my own teachers talking and then dub it with these sketches

[roxyfoxyk]

You certainly can be a teacher without the honours. (Yes I use a 'u' in the word)

I did a BA/DipEd degree and happily teaching in different high schools.

I thought this was funny.

Cheers

[hamsterdance4eva]

People who have arguments on youtube...I'd laugh if i wasn't one of those people myself. Although as I am teenaged I think that means I am exscused.

[AlphaRex1000]

so just so there is no confusion, i'd better admit i'm not a teacher, i'm a "fucking illiterate cunt", i promise to never to make such wildly outrageous claims again, Esp. when Polish people are listening, it appears the Germans has competition for the " no sense of humour" award.

[poland08]

Oh yes ' I get kicks from calling people cunts on youtube'.

And trust me, I will sleep well, this argument makes no difference in my life, but at least I'm glad that you have not taken this too seriously.

[AlphaRex1000]

i find this to be hillarius, as i'm now hed teecher at a large school and i used to be a cab driver

[morphybum]

if you're a hed teecher i'm michael voss.

[AlphaRex1000]

who is michael voss?

[poland08]

I think you mean Head teacher.

You fucking illiterate cunt.

[AlphaRex1000]

ewe have know eyedea just howe funni you're comment is my simple polish friend, i wunder is your're name mista sheen?

[poland08]

It might be to you, but right now it still seems that you can't spell for shit, throwing a shadow of doubt over your bold claim of being a Head teacher. So mate, obviously you are trying to yank everybody's balls, but at least try and make it believable you joke.

[AlphaRex1000]

clear to most, not all

[poland08]

Oh wow, you can read and copy from a dictionary.

Just if you're wondering, your posts have not been anything near ironic, just plain old idiotic so do the world a favor and crawl back under the rock from which you came.

[AlphaRex1000]

What can i say? all i can think of at the moment is you're not very entertaining at all, oh, do you eat Carp for Christmas lunch?

[poland08]

The interesting thing is that I am not trying to be comical or entertaining, whereas your mediocre comment about Carp for Christmas dinner is so pitiful that it's funny.

Just answer this question, is throwing a cheap shot about someone else's culture the best you can do??

[AlphaRex1000]

sure, you get your kicks by calling people "cunts" on youtube, if the worse thing that happened to me today was someone taking the piss because i eat fish at Christmas then i would sleep well.

Ps i'm glad you found my comment funny, i hope you have a happy life, piece oh sorry peace to you and your shiny brethen, hehe

[capitalsho]

Oh FUCK. this is me :(

[mmartini50]

LOL

...a lot of out of work financial consultants, life coaches and human resources officers would give their right nut to be a teacher now!

So the last laugh's on...?

[pinkally1986]

amen to that!

[mmartini50]

hehehehe

[gonsloog]

what the heck why are people taking this so seriously? Its just a funny sketcg spoofing those adverts. Jees get a life if u moan about it. Armstrong and miller are so funny :)

[Survivorwarriorgirl]

Guys - stop taking this so seriously. This is a sketch show, or hadn't you noticed? God, stop getting so worked up about it. They don't actually mean any of it, and they're hardly A-list celebrities swanning about not knowing how other people live. They're still like us. You obviously don't know that much about them.

Be forgiving, people. My mum's a teacher and she laughed so much at this!

[Glumlock]

@Survivorwarriorgirl I want to be a teacher, and i found this hilarious :)

[gnomit]

@Survivorwarriorgirl exactly... the point is not to mock the position of teacher, rather it is to mock the lack of respect we give teachers and the low pay and low qualifications.. teacher is obviously one of the most important jobs and we assign it such low prestige and pay. THAT is what this sketch is mocking, not the actual job of teacher.

[Sprinklesofjoy]

WHO ARE YOU!

[wozza2341]

A fair comment mathnawi21. All these thumbs down for your comment just goes to show that a lot of people think they are above "the unwashed classes" nowadays. And nice name you have!

[pipfanatic]

he he it's so true! so many people who didn't get into honours in my degree decided to do teaching instead. It's a sad fact....

[mathnawi21]

you can't do teaching if you don't have an honours degree, you twat

[pipfanatic]

you can do teaching without honours in Australia. Twat that.

[mathnawi21]

Explains a lot.

[edtheduck23458]

OMG...there are teachers in Australia?

[skateblind007]

umm, yes you can.

[mathnawi21]

I have just checked and yes, you are right. There are routes with an ordinary degree but it is really very unusual and you would have to meet other criteria to compensate. It is not, as the above post would make out, common.

[skateblind007]

My uncle did some sort of 'Access to teaching' course, he actually studied enviromental science or something like that, he only got a 3rd in that too, so it can't be that hard/unusual. I think the videos are pretty accurate if you ask me. :D

[Randallw0rth]

My girlfriend's a teacher, and she doesn't have an Honours degree, and she teaches at a Grammar school.

[Dancer2007JuniorMini]

that was pretty funny. but i do agree that teachers usually don't get that much respect. i've seen some classmates really hurt a lot of teachers.

[ciaran3707]

Classic.

[allahonsteroids]

I'm a teacher - this is so funny

[dtr3197]

I'm a teacher - this is so funny

[trak888]

so true...so true...

[Literature4peace]

that's awful!!! give us some respect!!!

[mgkusmc]

You guys get tons of respect, christ, let it be its just a sketch show.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

Swap you 6 weeks of summer holidays, 2 weeks of christmas holidays, 2 weeks of easter holidays, and 3 separate weeks of interim holidays for an ounce of respect.

[wilywiddop]

Don't forget that generous final salery pension scheme, and the credit crunch proofed salary with guaranteed annual increment!

[amilzyproduction]

[andypandy202000]
