Any Parent who is sending their child to school this week

Just had a thought for all you parents whose littlies (or biggies) are going back to school this week.
Spare a thought for the teachers - they have 30 or so littlies (or biggies) of the same age, in a classroom, they didn't give birth to that many all in one go - YOU didn't give birth to that many in one go! Those poor teachers have no means of disciplining the rabble, they are criticised by the government, they are criticised by some parents, they work with a limited/narrow curriculum, are expected to teach children the social skills parents should be teaching them, they have to wipe noses, clean up unimaginable stuff, (in the younger classes), deal with fights and squabbles etc! They have to deal with this 190 or so days from 09:00-15:00 (ish)
 YOU have you kids for 140 (or so days)! 
I was thinking of going in for teaching NO THANKS - after parenting, this must be the second hardest job... Although I am a home educator - I lift my hat up to all teachers starting back this week!
