"The teachers where still working when the schools where closed ? Ask yourself these questions? Would you be happy sitting in a room with 30 other different people for 5-6 a day, without been vaccinated? Are you happy sending your child to school with teachers and other children who have not been vaccinated? Who you do there job with no vaccine " I wud, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off great job! | |||

"The teachers are not the problem. It’s the government. Why should I receive a vaccine as a 39 year old working from home with no apparent risk ahead of a 38 year old teacher or any other front line worker with higher exposure to the virus complete madness " I would say a 65 year old shop worker is more entitled to a vaccine before a 38 year old or 23 year old teacher. | |||

Sure the children aren't going to be vaccinated so what's the point? The teachers wil be ok but you don't care the children are in a room with 30 others? I do my job not vaccinated, on a checkout or a self scan area, people in your face, hundreds passing everyday, coming in shopping in groups (mum, dad, kids because it takes 3 or 4 people to do a shop), trying to stop people coming into an overfilled shop and they ignoring a massive sign with a red light saying stop, do not enter. Directing people to where to queue and not stand waiting for a checkout on someone else heels... everyone has to deal with risks and problems in their "essential jobs" | |||

"My interactions with teachers for my kids has been less than satisfactory, from teacher telling my 6 six year old he's in the school play to changing her mind next day, giving out treats to class but not hsving enough for everyone are just two examples. They have been fully paid through this pandemic and not worked for most of it. Id gladly swap with them, entitled idiots for me and for those who support them most likely are one or has one in the family. Some are decent majority are not in my view." Seems like this is your own issue with teachers. Majority of teachers that I know or have dealt with are fantastic . It is one job I could never do | |||

"The question is where do you stop with prioritising certain professions? We will head into endless bureaucracy with the vaccine rollout instead of getting on with it. The Chileans have taken the straight forward approach of strictly going by age after the health workers were vaccinated. They are now one of the fastest vaccinating nations. Why should a healthy 30 year old teacher or garda get prioritised over a 60 year old post office worker working in a very confined space with a constant flow of people coming in? Just get on with it!!!!!" Same system in Britain.....going by age and working fine | |||

Just get on with it!!!!!" Exactly, everyone is the priority in their own mind. Age and certain pre-existing conditions are the factors known to place individuals at high risk of death or serious illness from Covid. Once the most vulnerable are done, the rest of the population should be done by descending age. | |||

"Let them off they have a right to industrial action as a recourse to their grievances. I'm not a fan of teacher's in general but let's be honest if it's such a handy job why aren't you all teacher's ?? That's right because it's a shit job. Look at all the whinging that was done because of home learning imagine trying to teach 30 kids. People want schools open so their little shites won't be under their feet all day but don't want teachers vaccinated. I don't know what the problem is ? Teachers (public schools), guards ,army ,fire services should all have been vaccinated from the start. " The problem is that once you start that where will it stop, Shop workers, Meat Factories, etc. Do it by age and the risk of hospitalisation and death are reducing all the time and were not wasting time arguing about who deserves it more. | |||

My best friend (who has cancer and still getting chemo) said she would rather I get vaccinated before her! Not on your bloody nelly, I'd rather those most vulnerable get theirs so they can at least leave their homes! I'll take my chances, do my job, wash my hands, wear my mask etc etc...and when I'm eligible, great. If they just bloody moved on with it we will all be happier. | |||

"just vaccinate from age down after the vulnerable. " I agree...then you don't get the my job (and my life!!) is more improtant/dangerous/necessary than yours. Feels like a playground argument alot of the time. We are all important. | |||

"Teachers agreeing to joint industrial action over vaccination lists and where they think they should be on it. No anger or apologies (to my knowledge) of the teachers of st Gerards when they jumped the queue, these teachers should be a shining example to our kids, but once again wanting it every way." They want to have their cake and eat it.. Its always been like this a bunch of whingers who wouldn't know a hards days work if it slapped them in the face.. Its astounding how lazy they are the conditions are so favourable.. 3 months paid holidays every year and they still find something to moan about.. Put a sock in it teachers you don't know what it's like to have it hard... | |||

"Ah sweet Jesus....I'm sorry but I think they are bloody ridiculous. I work in a supermarket, have worked through the craziness at the start, the madness of Christmas, the stupidity of people. I've not had the choice to work from home, to take time off and receive full pay or covid payment. God knows when I'll be eligible for the vaccine but have to be front and centre with people passing in front of me continuously. I don't act like I am more deserving and should go to the front of the list. A total pet peeve of mine...." Well done the shop staff all around the world have been amazing. There be more people go through a petrol station in 10 minutes than the whole school. Teachers just want to have an excuse to sit at home with full pay again and when the elrecieve the vaccine it will end up they want more pay or they want more holidays and will go for industrial strike anyway. Iv more respect for the guards than teachers | |||

"Amazing load of sh1t put on teachers unfairly when you consider the real truth is parents can't parent their own kids and expect teachers to fill in that role. No one noticed the 'mental health' issues of parents that couldn't actually deal with having their own kids around 24/7 and demanded schools to reopen whatever the consequences and banging on their TD's doors??? Government under pressure because guess who votes and who needs to stay in power? So do not come here whinging about teachers when you're knocking out kids blotto yourselves and you can't be arsed parenting or schooling youself. Teachers are not your surrogates. Kids get up for school and don't come home until 5pm. They eat and then they're fcked out until dark because parents watching TV, on social media moaning about other parents or advertising how great they are, usually at the pub, the bookies, the restaurant, their mates with wine at 7pm until blackout...so where is their children in all of that? Oh wait, boy scouts, cubs, sports training, snooker halls, street corners, parks, everywhere else but with their family. And then when schools are opened, all parents congregated outside like idiots still blaming others for virus spread and taking multiple kids home in their cars to multiple families. What teacher needs to deal with that sh1te??? And who said teachers do not stand up for sna's??? Cop on. The last battle teachers stood up for was equal pay for NEW teachers to bring entrants immediately up to their pay level even if they have spent 25 years building their own career, so it's not their job to educate your kids AND battle for everyone else. Get off their backs. Typical Irish begrudgery and ignorance. Blame others for your own sh1te and throw responsibility on those when you don't handle your own, and then blame others for it all? You're not a part of society? But you'll all do a walk for charity with instagram poses of how great you are on social media and big grinny smiles, while teachers lose the plot with stress coping with their own family with 30+ children in their class or providing zoom lessons from their own home, and no vaccination priority? Do they not have vulnerability issues? You pack of absolute gobshites, We're fcking done with this cesspit website. This pandemic certainly showed us the stupidity and ignorance of you all, no wonder why your kids are fcked up. We're fcking done. "The truth has been spoken and you can't deal with it  | |||

"I don't think I've ever read such a load of ill-informed, self entitled tosh in my time on Fab, and I've read some shite. The irony is absolutely staggering. Moaning about how shite teachers are while at the same time finding fault with the smallest of issues when you were forced into a situation when you had to take on a minute part of what teachers do. It would be laughable if it wasn't so goddamned sad. I wonder how many of you bellyaching about teachers have ever spent time in a school seeing what goes on behind the scenes? How many of you have actually sat down with a teacher to resolve the issues you have? How many of you actually attempted to work in partnership with your child's school? How many of you have volunteered your time to help in a school? As for the OP saying you'd gladly swap with a teacher? You wouldn't last a week. And no I'm not a teacher, nor do I have one in my family. " ?? agree with this. From working with kids and seeing what goes on a lot of parents will blame the teacher or coach or instructor or who ever is in charge rather than have a look at their own child’s behaviour or god for bid have a look at themselves | |||

I remember from my school days 20 years ago and that's how it was.. In the school I attended there was no special needs students only 1 teacher with special needs and 30 students looking on perplexed as an overpaid tyrant roared at them "It's a completely different world now. It's actually not even comparable with ten years ago when it comes to the amount of other considerations in the classroom. That said I would be absolutely disgusted if they went in strike when people in supermarkets/factories etc aren't even mentioned. The decision not to bump them up the list now is risk based and right now it is extremely low risk when compared to other sectors not even mentioned in the rollout. I cannot see this ending well for teachers if they strike when others have sacrificed so much more | |||

Lugging blocks across a building site while have someone roar at you is difficult work both mentally and physically.. A teacher wouldn't last 10 minutes at that.. Poor snowflakes.. My Jesus you really haven't a clue. Teachers have to work in tandem with SNAs or take on their role dealing with some children with disabilities or learning difficulties. To be a primary teacher either by doing an undergraduate degree or a two-year postgraduate Professional Master of Education (PME). They have to deal with psychological issues with children and very often be the person to liaise with social workers principles parents and a host of other professionals when called upon. You post above has shown you to be narrow minded AGAIN and absolutely clueless. Have youbeen in a classroom in the last 20/30 years or do you get all your information from your imaginary friends who always seem to give you false information
I remember from my school days 20 years ago and that's how it was.. In the school I attended there was no special needs students only 1 teacher with special needs and 30 students looking on perplexed as an overpaid tyrant roared at them
It's a completely different world now. It's actually not even comparable with ten years ago when it comes to the amount of other considerations in the classroom. That said I would be absolutely disgusted if they went in strike when people in supermarkets/factories etc aren't even mentioned. The decision not to bump them up the list now is risk based and right now it is extremely low risk when compared to other sectors not even mentioned in the rollout. I cannot see this ending well for teachers if they strike when others have sacrificed so much more"I actually think the risk of contracting covid for teachers is quite high.. 31 people packed into a small classroom is a recipe for disaster.. They are right to be concerned and probably should be bumped up the list.. My issue was more with the general working conditions of teachers which I think are quite favourable.. | |||

"By the time this hissyfit of industrial action shows results (if any) we hit the summer holidays. It's a complete waste of time. how many teachers wont be vaccinated come beginning of new school year in September?" Who knows? Some might not want the vaccine, hopefully most will have it by then, surely all the older teachers will who are more at risk of getting severly sick from covid. So are all others of the same age regardless of their job or status. Prioritising only causes bad blood as we can see on this thread. | |||

"A friend of mine is a teacher. She is nearly 60 and covers people who are out sick and she is flooded with calls to cover young teachers who are out with covid! She has been vaccinated and said there is no stopping kids from interacting from juniors to leaving cert. They're heads are not in the same space as ours. I think that the gov and hse have had ample time to have all teachers vaccinated and as getting schools reopened was a priority that they and society set then the safety of those doing it should have been a priority. Those arguing about putting a teacher over a health compromised person of any age...I am sorry but sadly if they are such a high risk, they need to stay at home until the vaccine has had a proven safety record. This is their best chance I think and ours as a society." So where are the young teachers getting the covid-19 from? From their pupils or from socialising with friends. My suspicion it's mainly the latter. Anyhow I agree with your point that there was plenty of time to get the teachers vaccinated before the reopening of the schools, too late now so we might as well get just on with the most simplified vaccine rollout there is rather than turning everything upside down again.  | |||

Im having a teacher, and a nurse in my family and they are very good at what they do - its a passion to them Its about 95% of all teachers who had chosen that occupation for different reason than a passion with teaching, and most of them dont really care about children. My son was very lucky, and probably its not only teachers but also me as a parent who helped him to explore the world. At schools these kind of children are seen as the ones which shouldnt be there. Why? How can you work with 20-30 kids in the classroom, where most of them learn in own pace, and a few like my son is boring within 15 mins? Its just example. This job is not easy, but none of them are. Once you decide to go this way, then be as good as you should to help growing children - our new future. Its not only about school, as Ive mentioned above, 80% it should be parents who teach their children about world, showing them to have a passion, and helping them to develop | |||

"Depends on what you would call work, as we have kids going to school and sending an email out every morning at a minute past 9 and doing 3 zoom calls a weeks lasting 30 minutes isn't education or work, teachers have always something to complain about every year, but this stunt is a disgrace by them, the vaccine roll out should be done on health and age, unless you work in an environment where your dealing with sick or elderly people. Plus they should count themselves lucky that they have been on full pay throughout this pandemic, yet kids have lost out on 9 months of school.

I know of two schools not far from me that closed early for Easter because of covid. My daughter is a primary school teacher and I can assure you she didn't get away as lightly as the teacher your describing above. This whole thing wouldn't be an issue at all if we had a reliable supply of vaccines but if teachers are going back to school in September without having been vaccinated it could lead to problems. Also, the minister's thing about someone aged 65 being more vulnerable than a teacher doesn't fully stack up. Most 65 year olds at the moment are presumably working from home. Teachers, especially if they're working with high dependency children, are spending 6 hours in close contact with the largest classes in Europe. Let's just hope the roll out doesn't suffer any more hiccups. | |||

"I don't think I've ever read such a load of ill-informed, self entitled tosh in my time on Fab, and I've read some shite. The irony is absolutely staggering. Moaning about how shite teachers are while at the same time finding fault with the smallest of issues when you were forced into a situation when you had to take on a minute part of what teachers do. It would be laughable if it wasn't so goddamned sad. I wonder how many of you bellyaching about teachers have ever spent time in a school seeing what goes on behind the scenes? How many of you have actually sat down with a teacher to resolve the issues you have? How many of you actually attempted to work in partnership with your child's school? How many of you have volunteered your time to help in a school? As for the OP saying you'd gladly swap with a teacher? You wouldn't last a week. And no I'm not a teacher, nor do I have one in my family. I really can't see what's so difficult about being a teacher.. They start at 9am.. Most people start work at 8 and then you have people who start at 6 so that's another thing they have going for them.. They walk into a classroom project their voices on top of students.. Most roar and shout and read of a text book.. Write a few things on a board.. Give exams walk around in silence.. Its not a difficult job and they get paid generously for the work that they do.. And then they cry about marking exam papers at home after work oh like that's so difficult.. Most sit with a glass of wine while doing it.. Then 3 months paid holidays every year now they really can't complain about anything when they have conditions like that.. Its a lazy person's Job.. Unfortunately the lazier a person is they more they whinge and moan which is why we hear of an industrial disbute every year with teacher unions.. The unions have made it far too easy.. Lugging blocks across a building site while have someone roar at you is difficult work both mentally and physically.. A teacher wouldn't last 10 minutes at that.. Poor snowflakes..

"The teachers are not the problem, the Unions are. They claim to represent the teachers, but it's a case of the tail wagging the dog i'm afraid. I’m in a WhatsApp group with a few teachers in it. Not one said they support the Unions on this, don’t know why they are pushing this through. Strange, rap considering the unpopular press it’s getting. Couple of friends teaching said them same but they also said they would strike if told to so I think a lot are saying one thing but will still walk out if told to by the union's My point exactly, the Unions TELL the teachers to strike. I cannot understand why the teachers would walk out when told by the Unions if they disagreed with it. Makes no sense to me." What is the sample size you are referring to when making that statement ? To get something done things need to happen with universal support. Why do you think politicians rarely go against what the party wants. It's about solidarity as part of a group . Be it good or bad that's just human nature You can be sure there are significant amounts of teachers who have raised issues for the unions to take the stance. Working in a supermarket isn't in the slightest bit comparable. Large areas with relatively low time spent in close proximity with others on a per person ratio. Teachers are working often in overcrowded classrooms as it is. Work in situations with kids with special needs who can at times lack the capacity to understand social distancing etc. Work in environments where the kids are literally physically assaulting teachers. The issue is people who think teachers are glorified babysitters and haven't got the slightest clue about the functional realities of the job. They tend to have a story ib their head teachers are paid too much/too much holidays etc By the way I'm not a teacher . I wouldn't have the patience for it but hope the teachers get sorted. | |||

To be honest I think it's a case of the few I know saying one thing but not really having any intention of doing it. At least they can now say "we didn't want to strike but we had to" . Before anyone starts I'm only commenting on the few I know | |||

"teachers unions have been in the news more then once since the start of covid. down through the years they're often complaining over one thing or another. now, if the government promised they'd be up the conveyer belt for vaccines and then pulled plug, they'll obviously complain but if u vaccinate teachers then other people in close knit inviroment jobs will look for the same. u then open a can of worms. step in line and wait your turn. easiest way after vulnerable is age down. " That doesn't open a can of worms at all. That's how it should be unless we get a supply of vaccines that can get everyone done quickly. People working from home shouldn't be prioritised on the basis of age once the vulnerable categories have been done imo. | |||

Why isn't there a queue around the block to become a teacher?
I wonder if you would be willing to take your work home with you and work late into the night, work over your holidays whilst your family are heading to the beach without you once again? Cancel weekends with family so that you can mark and return work to students on Monday?
Why don't you try teaching if it's so easy. "what a load of bull lol..beaches!! who are you trying to impress!! Were in fking lockdown!! | |||

"Did you not read what I said above? Yes I read everything Teachers work above and beyond for their students,I know from personal experience. Rubbish they are lazy and do the bare minimum I know that from experience too They have worked hard during the pandemic and have to endure the negativity from people who do not understand the job of a teacher. They have been off for nearly a bloody year.. They haven't worked hard.. Are you having a laugh? Teachers work in the real world too, the world where they are underfunded and overworked. Underfunded now that is funny.. They get paid genourously for the work they do.. Overworked that's hilariously funny.. They wouldn't work on batteries I'm serious They not only teach but guide their students through childhood and prepare them for the real world as you say, Teachers like that are few and far between.. So they care about every student.. That's madness.. There could be 600 students in a school if it's so easy a profession why do 1 in 3 want to leave it? Why isn't there a queue around the block to become a teacher? I personally wouldn't be a teacher as it would bore me silly I wonder if you would be willing to take your work home with you and work late into the night, work over your holidays whilst your family are heading to the beach without you once again? Cancel weekends with family so that you can mark and return work to students on Monday? Boo hoo we all have to bring our work home.. Teachers should be no different Why don't you try teaching if it's so easy. As I stated previously teaching wouldn't challenge me in the slightest it would bore me senseless " | |||

"I don't think I've ever read such a load of ill-informed, self entitled tosh in my time on Fab, and I've read some shite. The irony is absolutely staggering. Moaning about how shite teachers are while at the same time finding fault with the smallest of issues when you were forced into a situation when you had to take on a minute part of what teachers do. It would be laughable if it wasn't so goddamned sad. I wonder how many of you bellyaching about teachers have ever spent time in a school seeing what goes on behind the scenes? How many of you have actually sat down with a teacher to resolve the issues you have? How many of you actually attempted to work in partnership with your child's school? How many of you have volunteered your time to help in a school? As for the OP saying you'd gladly swap with a teacher? You wouldn't last a week. And no I'm not a teacher, nor do I have one in my family. I really can't see what's so difficult about being a teacher.. They start at 9am.. Most people start work at 8 and then you have people who start at 6 so that's another thing they have going for them.. They walk into a classroom project their voices on top of students.. Most roar and shout and read of a text book.. Write a few things on a board.. Give exams walk around in silence.. Its not a difficult job and they get paid generously for the work that they do.. And then they cry about marking exam papers at home after work oh like that's so difficult.. Most sit with a glass of wine while doing it.. Then 3 months paid holidays every year now they really can't complain about anything when they have conditions like that.. Its a lazy person's Job.. Unfortunately the lazier a person is they more they whinge and moan which is why we hear of an industrial disbute every year with teacher unions.. The unions have made it far too easy.. Lugging blocks across a building site while have someone roar at you is difficult work both mentally and physically.. A teacher wouldn't last 10 minutes at that.. Poor snowflakes.. " From your ranting I take it that it's been a fair while since you've been in a school and observed what's going on then! Bet you still think every classroom has a blackboard and chalk | |||

"Teachers have been a total disgrace all through this. That's your claim . Where's your evidence ? Should teachers with underlying health conditions/vulnerable age bracket sacrifice themselves to appease ? turn on the tv, radio etc..they been bitching since this started, dont twist this with ure underlying problems, vunerability thats in every area of society..shame on them. Don't counter what you are saying with logic ? Err ok ! Lean into it hard. The cognitive bias is incredible.ill say it again teachers have been a total disgrace through all this! Shame on their exaggerated sence of self importance over people on the front line. Conviction of a poorly made point does not enhance the point.what part off teachers have been a total disgrace all through this do you not get!! With all ure arrogent words." Did any of your teachers ever try to convince you to buy a dictionary ? | |||

"what a load of bull lol..beaches!! who are you trying to impress!! Were in fking lockdown!! Like I said Sean , you need to calm down. I am merely trying to relate to you what it is like for teachers all of the time regardless of pandemic, hence the reference to beaches. Though I don't think beaches are out of bounds atm ,if within your 5KM " try telling to someone else, teachers are not on the front line ffs any more than a person on min wage working in a grocery store..! The teachers/unions whatever think they are above all well they are far from it so they need do like all else and go earn there keep an stop whinging | |||
