Richard O'Kelly

[Risso]

By the way, O'Kelly didn't really walk-out on the eve of the season. He told Dean at the beginning of the summer that he wanted to leave but offered/agreed to stay on longer than his notice period.

Is that correct? I've seen it reported that he stayed longer than intended to help out, but not that he had told Smith earlier.

I think Dean said it in one of his Pravda interviews.

Most teachers that I know retire at the earliest opportunity. It's a tough gig.

I can think of tougher gigs.

Thank you for your input.

Great admiration for teachers, even more so after home schooling. I try to help two of the grandkids can't imagine what it's like teaching a classful of kids.

Not by me, I could probably handle the teaching bit, the dealing with the little darlings parents would be my problem.

Not aimed at you, I was just joking.

+1 for me. Teachers are marvelous.

The old man retired at 50 because he didn't need the money, particularly with nice manipulation of the final salary pension. It was a doddle for him teaching the same lessons year after year. OTOH I tried teacher training and wasn't comfortable with either the performance element or the staff room. Didn't feel I belonged there and still wouldn't. Neither of those issues applies with homeschooling, but the authority dynamics can still be tricky.

Some teachers are great, some are rubbish.

Some claims that Kelly had been demoted to the U23s, so quit.

Odd if true.
