What should reasonably be expected of a teacher?
When teachers behave badly it makes local or national news, and bringing the profession into disrepute is not something you want on your CV. There is a self-assessment at the end of this post...

teachers should not say derogatory comments on other schools
My children’s teacher has been cancelling lessons just before they are about to begin. It’s put us in a difficult spot as we have to travel about 30-45 mins by car to get to the school.

I also use preplanned lessons if they are appropriate but do tweak them where necessary as well as having some lessons provided to me.
