Ham_N_Eggs Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 2 minutes ago, Roxanne said: Yes, they are. It's not just about the pay or the extra curricular, those things have always been expected. it's about the lack of discipline, lack of parental support, parents excessive demands without accepting responsibility. The kids no that they can do just about anything and get away with it - school sanctions only go so far. That, and the huge pressures of the National Curriculum are sending them into 9-5 jobs in the private sector where they can do their jobs and go home and leave them till the next day, This hatred of teachers will end badly. Every single one of you who criticise and are unsupportive toward them are ensuring that our children of the future are going to be educationally very badly catered for. But keep going why don't you. Keep banging away about what lazy money grabbing shysters they all are. You're ensuring your children and grandchildren will never know the value of good teachers. And then of course you'll be whining about that too. Exactly. A good education system is a key foundation stone to a successful society. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my other post and suggest a figure The union is probably in a better place to suggest that figure than I am. But expecting someone to come out of 3(+) years of Uni and 2(+) years of training and work for £22k is pretty mental. Having qualified teachers struggle to afford to live here is mental. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that happen. There only seems to be one secondary school job listed at the moment. 28k to more than 40 which I assume is dependant on experience. Like it or not the pension, time off and other benefits have a value, so I would say that is the equivalent of about £35k starting in hospitality where people also work antisocial hours.

What recruitment crisis? I blame the teachers. That's for an average of ~38 hours a week too... https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/sep/18/25-of-teachers-in-england-work-more-than-60-hours-a-week-study https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-49728831 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, and if the individual is doing their teacher training when they join the school it'll be lower than that, too. Teacher's "time off" is a bit of a myth. If your job doesn't pay you a pension and decent benefits, join a union. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to join a Union, you just pay for them yourself which is why it has a value. Just checked primary schools. Also 27 to 44k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's set by the payscales, so it's not like they can offer 27k to a non-qualified/newly-qualified teacher. These are experienced roles.

DrunkenMonkey Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Manx crabs are crabbing it up again. "I've got it bad. I will attack anyone else trying to improve their lives and that will make me feel happy!" No, unionise and change your circumstances for the better. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix of nurses, carers, hospitality workers and managers, lawyers, office staff at all levels, construction workers and taxi drivers. I would argue for good rates of pay for nurses and carers, as well as teachers their rates are set by government not the market. The rest are set by the market. That is the point, don't you see? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
