The trouble with teachers by Rod Liddle
A teacher once told me that he couldnrCOt stand Pakistanis rCybecause of the smellrCO. I was 13 at the time and it was during a classroom debate about immigration: he was very much agin, I was for. It struck me, suddenly,
that he was very stupid rCo an astonishing realisation, as I was
accustomed to believing teachers to be full of wisdom, a delusion
inculcated in me by my parents.
This all took place in a very large comprehensive school in the
north-east of England rCo a good school by and large, but almost entirely white. Of the 1,800 pupils only one was not: a quiet lad of Chinese
Malay extraction, I think, who was known to all the pupils and a good
few of the teachers as rCyFu ManchurCO. In fact, there was another non-white face in the crowd, but we didnrCOt know it at the time. It was only 20
years later that I realised my friend Jim was half Indian. He kept that pretty quiet.
All of this dates me fairly precisely. Such racist attitudes would today
be front-page news and there would be government inquiries. Just as
dated is my parentsrCO deference, and the deference shown by society in general, towards teachers. Over the intervening 50 years, society has
become more diverse and so necessarily more tolerant and accepting rCo
and, by some sort of strange inversion, teachers have become far more
stupid. They had their stupidities then, of course, but not on a par
with the sort of stuff we see today. That is one reason why parents are disinclined to show them deference. Another is that deference is pretty
much dead meat rCo gone the way of similarly despised qualities such as discipline, respect, obedience etc.
Should there be any hope, it lies with the children rCo certainly if the Church of England school, Rye College, in East Sussex, is anything to go
by. Two Year 8 pupils (what we used to call second years) recorded a
truly cretinous teacher hectoring and bullying them about their views regarding gender. The kids had made the eminently reasonable observation
that a fellow pupil who wished to identify as a cat was seriously
mentally unwell and should not be indulged in her delusion by the staff.
The teacher reacted with fury, heightened when the girls insisted that
there were two genders and that you could not be rCyagenderrCO. She shouted: rCyWhat do you mean you canrCOt have it? ItrCOs not a lawrCa Cisgender is not necessarily the way to be. You are talking about the fact that cisgender
is the norm, that you identify with the gender of the sexual organ you
were born with or yourCOre weird, thatrCOs basically what yourCOre saying, which is really despicable.rCO She then said she would be reporting the
girls to the assistant head and suggested that if they continued to
think in that manner they should find another school.
Obviously, the teacher should be sacked rCo and the head too, given the schoolrCOs refusal to accept that what this teacher did was not merely stupid, but evil. You do not call your pupils rCydespicablerCO and tell them to find another school when they are simply telling the truth rCo a very easily demonstrable truth.
So, let us raise a glass to these two canny schoolgirls who recognised
that their teacher was a halfwit dedicated to lying to her charges and
had the perspicacity to record her doing so. But maybe there is a
general rebellion under way, because after a bit of digging, the Daily Telegraph, which first reported the story, discovered that in schools up
and down the country, loads of children are cheerfully identifying as animals. They include one child who identifies as a dinosaur and, best
of all, thererCOs another who identifies as a moon.
I daresay a small number of these kids are genuinely disturbed, but my suspicion is that the majority of them are indulging in that excellent British pastime of taking the piss. They are aware that the whole self-identification thing is a counter-rational absurdity which has been swallowed whole by the idiots who teach them every day and they are determined to have a good laugh at the expense of the staff.
It all made me terribly nostalgic for my schooldays and the fun I might
have today at, say, Rye College, if I were a second-year pupil. I can
imagine identifying as having handed in my homework, for a start,
despite comprehensive evidence to the contrary. I would inform the
teaching staff that while I was entirely relaxed about what pronouns
should be used when addressing me, I did insist upon the teachers using
my preferred adjectives. In future I should be addressed directly, and referred to, as rCythe stupendously brilliant Rod LiddlerCO. I would also demand the right to run in girlsrCO sports races and use whatever lavatory
I fancied, depending on which of the several hundred imagined genders I
was identifying as on that particular day. I would exhort all the
children to do likewise rCo and thus utterly destroy this ludicrous and damaging ideology by exposing its obvious inconsistencies and
unrealities, laughing at teacher as they do so.
Teachers regularly complain that their biggest bugbear is the parents rCo
and as I mentioned, it is true that these days parents are more inclined
to take the side of their kids in disputes. Back in the 1970s, by
contrast, if I was punished for wrongdoing in school, my parents would
simply say I deserved it and probably punish me a bit more for good measure.
But one of the reasons this shift has taken place is that, captured by a fatuous ideology to which only a tiny minority of the population
adheres, the teachers have encroached upon territory which more properly should lie in the domain of the parents rCo and they are rightly resented
for it. That, and the fact that seemingly many of them are that very
worst of combinations: dim and totalitarian.

All true.
However, there are a lot of teachers in my area, on my street and those I've known and know through friends. It's about 50-50 I think, who believe in and practice the woke ideology willingly in school and in their parenting with the
other half playing the game.. :(. But it's gradually turning around :)

All true.
However, there are a lot of teachers in my area, on my street and those I've
known and know through friends. It's about 50-50 I think, who believe in and
practice the woke ideology willingly in school and in their parenting with the
other half playing the game.. :(. But it's gradually turning around :)
Yes, the teachers aren't the major problem as to an extent they're
accessible to parents. The major problem is the massive ship of the
education administration which, even if you could pirate in a skilled
