Bad Attitude

At test centres all over the world people are taking tests and exams in order to show that they have what it takes to join the profession of their choice.  Personally, i think there should also be a personality and character test too considering some of the bad attitudes of our future Doctors, lawyers, finance sector wannabes and in particularly school teachers.  I really would not like any child I know to be taught by some of these rude. arrogant, bad mannered and obnoxious individuals.

They stand at the reception desk (some of them are backed up by mummy and daddy) they are asked for the ID and the evidence required before taking a test.  Mummy and daddy get all uppity and start shouting the odds, 'what are you talking about we know nothing of this. our little darling doesn't need all this just let him/her in' from cajoling to downright nastiness.  

When you ask a well mannered candidate why they have brought all this ID and evidence with them and they reply 'the email said we have to', it makes you wonder how the other plonkers are equipped to learn never mind teach.

Mother yelling  at the Centre staff "show me where it says that". When you do show where it says you get a very meek "well I never saw that", but no apology and even worse after being shown and told the rules and regulations, they then insist on seeing someone 'higher up' I love these scenes because the someone 'higher up' recites the exact same rules and regulations and no amount of wheedling and whining makes a difference.  Who are these people?

Please National College of Teachers, please vet the character and personality of these wanna be teachers and don't let them get a toe in the door.
