I know you're a regular troll
but here
"Teachers are all bullies (except Mr A who gave me a love of maths and Engineering, Mr T who was ex military and gave REAL guidelines on behaviour, and Miss B who gave me my love of language.) and expect respect from whoever they meet, just because they are a teacher."

So he is saying all teachers are crap. And the fact is that they aren't, they do a difficult job and are always between a rock and a hard place. Some teachers are crap, some are lazy, some don't try, but the majority are hamstrung by crap guidelines and legislation and the fact that no-one wants to pay for education, yet they expect everything to be perfect.

Oy. I'm no troll.
And I'm sorry if I've given that impression. Quite like to know how. I'm going to assume you're confusing me with someone else.

Hmm, think I misread a word there, or added one in. I agree - teachers do have a hard job, so I'd like to see that sweeping generalisation justified as well.

Sounds like he's had a hard time with most of the teachers he's come across, which is a shame. I've met a lot who are crap in all kinds of ways, and a few who were really great.

I am going to go to say, with no hint of trolling, that the great teachers don't take or give any crap and are always in control. Tight regulations or not, there are those who are able to work within those regulations, yet remain in authority and gain everyone's respect.
