Bullshit, we only got 50% turn out for a text vote, never getting over 50% for a postal.
People are apathetic after getting shafted by weak union leadership last summer
Can’t they strike in June instead? Would be better weather.
They’re overpaid already. Having been to a fairly average school, a decent college and a top 10 University I honestly can’t say I’ve met more than 1 teacher who deserves more than minimum wage.
It isn’t a skilled job, it’s a job that should be incredibly important but the curriculum doesn’t prepare students for adult life and almost every teacher I’ve come across has been both intellectually average and uninterested in actually doing their job or trying to make subject matter engaging.
Teachers putting on powerpoints while they sit in silence being common.
The whole fucking country needs to strike at this point.
But don’t you dare pull your kid out of school for a couple of days before half term as they’ll end up a failure.
If there’s anyone that deserves better pay it’s these guys
After the six weeks holiday, they should strike during the holidays and again when schools back
It really boils my piss , throughout my education going back over 40 years Teachers have always gone on strike for one thing or the other, but people still want to go into teaching knowing the historical grievances , oh and by the way my sister in law is a teacher who has lots of holidays, make what you want
Can we charge £60/day per teacher for unauthorised absence?
My missus is a teacher. She says if teachers strike for anything other than school funding for equipment and maintenance, then they are being greedy and need to go and find a different job.
The money is awesome and you get an insane amount of paid time off.
“Oh but teachers have to stay behind when school finishes to mark work and plan lessons”
School finishes at 3:30, oh no, you have to stay until at least 5 like every other job.
“Oh but they have to work on their time off”
Work for a week during the summer holidays and then have 5 weeks with no work.
She days the problem with teachers and why the majority get stressed isn’t because of the amount of work load, it’s because they have to manage their own work load them selves. The majority of teachers will leave 5 minutes of the kids leave, go home, do no work then spend the weekend catching up on everything.
Same in the holidays, will scatter the work load over 5 and a half weeks then have to hammer it on the last half of the 6th.
“The majority of teachers now work like kids with their homework, mess about, leave it until the last minute, get stressed”
She teaches a bit about the whole management thing at uni in her spare time, I’m sure it has a professional name for what she teaches.
I dunno, people, I have to listen to this rant all the time so you guys can have a bit too
