I asked Happybunny yesterday about smoking teachers, was pleased to find she has no clue as to who smokes and who doesn't, has never seen any of them smoking outside the school and she leaves school on a Friday lunchtime for her chippy treat.

Teachers as role models - most definitely yes, HB loves school and has had a couple of really inspirational teachers, including her P7 teacher she was so impressed with that she nominate her for teacher of the year award, many parents have said it changes when they go to the academy, not so HB loves learning and many of her teachers, she's thinking of becoming a teacher herself.

As for teaching healthy eating you can teach healthy eating and be big I am a size 22, not as fit as I should be, but HB understands about healthy eating and takes regular exercise, I eat reasonably healthy, choccy being my downfall am limited to what type of exercise I can do due to problems with my ankles, having said that I am fitter and healthier than my size 14 workmate and eat healthier than many size 10's and below who miss meals (many teenage and 20-25 year olds that I have worked with fall into this category and are at the docs all the time with one ailment or another.

this may be slightly hypcrital of me but i do smoke but only at home and outside if its nice or only in the kitchen with either windows wide open or the extractor on, but i totaly agree that teachers, parents should not be smoking within or even just outside the gates, if flipin annoys me when i have to walk through a gate big enough for 3 buggys, but cant get through because a mothers blimin meeting is going on all puffing away, why do mums have to natter right in gateways or slap bang in the middle of the path or the corner of the road so you have to move into the road to avoid them,
sorry rant over

well to be fair, i don't have the teachers side yet, 'gone home'.. but...
they were doing 'black history month' a month late blah blah

and the conversation was on migration of rastafarians, and got sidetracked by the teacher to ' its not their fault their skin is black', to which mine piped up, 'nope, its genetics'.........at which point she ( the teacher) tells him off?
' thats rude, apologise now'

he was dumbstruck, and thinks that she thinks he is racist, i am just hoping she was telling him off for interupting, if not she is in for a full on lecture about actually listening to her students , asking them what they mean, instead of jumping to conclusions.

i have many friends that are teachers and fully understand the difficulties, but sometimes....... i am just gobsmaked at the way they judge without asking.

Really hope that it was a (virtual) thump for interrupting - otherwise lecture is sooooo due.

I do think the only way a teacher should smoke in front of children, is if they are on fire.
lol
