He may be on to something much bigger than that headline; there's no doubt the likes of Gove have tried to stamp their own personal views on education :evil: , but teachers seem so demoralised at this point that telling them they need to take an oath will look like just another kick in the balls.

Given that most uk doctors haven't taken an oath like this In the last 30 years (anecdotal evidence), there's not much point for teachers. Most people remember the "do no harm" bit bit forget the rest.

Quote:
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, likewise Hygeia and Panacea, and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath, to the utmost of my power and judgement.

I will reverence my master who taught me the art. Equally with my parents, will I allow him things necessary for his support, and will consider his sons as brothers. I will teach them my art without reward or agreement; and I will impart all my acquirements, instructions, and whatever I know, to my master's children, as to my own; and likewise to all my pupils, who shall bind and tie themselves by a professional oath, but to none else.

With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgement and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage.

Nor shall any man's entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so. Moreover, I will get no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child.

Further, I will comport myself and use my knowledge in a godly manner.

I will not cut for the stone, but will commit that affair entirely to the surgeons.

Whatsoever house I may enter, my visit shall be for the convenience and advantage of the patient; and I will willingly refrain from doing any injury or wrong from falsehood, and (in an especial manner) from acts of an amorous nature, whatever may be the rank of those who it may be my duty to cure, whether mistress or servant, bond or free.

Whatever, in the course of my practice, I may see or hear (even when not invited), whatever I may happen to obtain knowledge of, if it be not proper to repeat it, I will keep sacred and secret within my own breast.

If I faithfully observe this oath, may I thrive and prosper in my fortune and profession, and live in the estimation of posterity; or on breach thereof, may the reverse be my fate![4]



Basically, look after your teacher and his family, don't operate and don't allow abortions.

I don't see unqualified members of he public telling a brain surgeon how to do his job, yet it seems open season when it comes to teachers. Everyone is an expert. If you want teaching to be a respected profession, then the first thing to do is to stop with the meddling and let them do their jobs. Stop piling paperwork on top of paperwork. Actually let the teachers breathe and flourish instead of suffocating them.

Also, give teachers the support they need, when dealing with kids who show them no respect and have no fear of the repercussions of their actions, which at the moment are non existent, just like the teachers powers

It's nice to see that, after the next general election, we'll be able to substitute calling someone 'a right Jeremy' with calling them 'A right Tristram'.

Thier oath is short and sweet

Theirs would be a 'hypocritical oath' instead of 'Hippocratic oath'.
