I’m with you there

Me too.

Absolutely correct.

Well you can always pay private.

Teachers don't write curriculum

They do have money, seem to spend it no issue on vanity projects like HS2 and spaffed billions of dodgy PPE for their mates companies during covid.

They seem happy also to throw our money at wars.

Plenty of money. They managed to give china 80 million in 2020 and 60 million last year in foreign aid.

The side shave is a close equivalent. Bad optics as that say. They aren’t doing their cause much good choosing a militant looking type as a mouthpiece. Possibly unfair, but there’s no denying a less stereotypical lefty would engender more sympathy.

​@@gerwynbirtles7505I would rather this vile cow was on strike than teaching our kids woke crap.

@@gerwynbirtles7505 maybe she could refuse to do all that pre-planning we hear about.

Many teachers only have 5 to 6 weeks holiday because they have to go to work non term time for admin, completion of reports, preparing future courses, updates on H&S, Equalities, Government and Local Government requirements, assessments of their work, Ofsted preparations etc.

@@philipthomas2918 Oh the poor dears, NOT !

You do realise that it isn’t the teachers who charged you right? It was the government. Wakey wakey.

Seconded

my son also has to work hard for what he earns ,he hardly get a day off ,many workers in the private sector are the same ,and their pension is no where near like what the public sector workers get ,if they did complain they would loose their jobs ,

Like many people in the UK work hard all week - had no pay rise yet have to listen to these self-entitled layabouts - who sit in an air-conditioned classroom for 35hrs per week.

Varying degrees of intelligence🙃

It used to be they were paid less than a private company and the trade off was a better pension. Now these greedy individuals want their cake and eat in too. They should be fined on top of losing a days wages. If I didn't turn up to work for the day, I'd lose the days pay and would also have a consequence. A fine like parents get for removing their children during term time would be appropriate imho. Also this attitude of what happens in each of the home nations matching their pay is pathetic. You don't see regular workers complaining that joe blogs at another company got XYZ so I should too. No, we would be expected to find a better paying job. It's like listening to a bunch of entitled brats demanding preferential treatment.

Why doesn't he become a teacher, then, Karen? Since you think their lives are much easier.

you,re right about the part time,with all the perks .

So WHAT? 😡😡😡

​@@patruddickpart time? What a fool.

So true

During the war….

I worked for social services and I didn’t get a pay rise in the last 10 years of my employment, I’m retired now. In fact the local government made cutbacks through ‘reorganisation’ and many had severe pay cuts. We all had to sign a new contract or we would have been made redundant/sacked. Yet if you were one of the lucky ones on much higher grade you had a pay rise. These teachers should be grateful they have a job. My daughter is a teaching assistant and takes on a substantial workload and responsibilities that greatly helps the teachers workload.

The money could come from the money we are forced to pay in taxes on migrants illegal and legal.almost 2 billion a year on illegals are being paid and that’s without the subsidies we give to the legal migrants.

Five years is nothing. You're extremely lucky being in the private sector. Nurses haven't had an above inflation pay rise in 14 years.

Extremely lucky being in the private sector? Getting terrible pensions, most don’t get a single discount of the many that nurses have available 365 days a year, most people in private sector have 0 job satisfaction unlike nurses, little to none job security much unlike in the NHS, potential 0 hour contracts, not getting noticed and praised unlike everyone does in the NHS alllll the time, little to no training or education opportunities, many don’t have the luxury of being offered overtime that they desperately need - realise the many benefits that these strikers have and you will understand the pay situation. The military aren’t payed appropriately due to the fact of the many benefits Iv already mentioned as well as job satisfaction and people want to do the job - money shouldn’t be a motivator. And I don’t believe paying people more will get the public a better reward for their money. I literally watched an interview on the news of couple of nurses saying they want to be payed more so they can have more days out and holidays.. is this the priority at the moment is it? @TopherL

Aren’t they all

Typical Leftie they've all git that smug 😏 grin on their mugs like Lineker and that goon Dale Vince

And good for her. Far better than being one of u self righteous, I'm alright Jack so screw everyone else, righty ****s

Teaching is one of most important jobs in society…….They deserve to be paid as suck. All you idiots bitching about this, should take a pay cut or work for free, because apparently wages aren’t important in a job 🤷🏻‍♂️

There were strikes 40+ years ago

If you enter an industry understanding the pay and conditions....

@@lamestreammedia3154 That’s a fallacy. Wages are supposed to go up with inflation and cost of living. Otherwise, people who have been in the same job for 30 years would still be getting like £5 an hour 🤦🏻 Tell me you don’t know how economics work without telling me 🤡

@@laurenceBDontYaNo paying inflation matching rises creates inflation. Do we then pay inflation matching rises in response?

Liberal arts looks just the same type as when I left school forty years ago! 😁

Is SHE a Teacher ,you could have fooled me .

Science fiction of course ! 🤣🤣👍

She is a teacher and she doesn't understand that inflation can be caused by wage increases. It is exactly what caused the out of control inflation that started in the 70's and took nearly 20years and a lot of pain to control. If wages rise then the money has to come from somewhere. It is known as wage push inflation.

brilliant!

Prussian truffle pigs!

I know of a couple, and they appear to have taken morbid obesity to a new level.

Wow the assholes are out in force on here, judging by your comments and the assholes who agree with you.

What a totally pointless comment to make.

They complain if a child has the wrong ruler ,the wrong pair of shoes ,blazer ,anything just to send that child home ,in disgrace ,many parents are doing their best ,but it,s becoming very expensive just to buy uniforms .buying uniforms from school is in most cases more expensive ,why might I ask don,t teachers show an example and also wear a uniform ,no earings ,no lipstick , no high heels .etc etc .

This is the best of the applicants, due to nobody wanting to teach.

​@@patruddickits not the teachers who make these rules.

Have seen what they are teaching the children these days ? There is something very wrong and it happening in every western Christian country with a Rothschilds owned and controlled MSM and central bank .

She doesn't look old enough to do a paper round 😁

Considerable time off??? Work till 5 -5:30 Every day except weekends which are used to plan work. Holidays are used for ACTUALLY going in to schools and doing stuff. The summer holidays will be used to go in to school and move the classroom around. Get books sorted etc

@@kimberleymorris8052 Really? Work till 5.30 as if its unusual most people work till that time. 'Plan work' at weekends you mean the same stuff they taught the same year group last year at that time.?"Move classroom" "get books sorted" well thats one day accounted for. "Do stuff" thats very vague, what 'stuff' do they do? Go to any school in summer or winter holidays they will be like the Marie Celeste apart from maybe a groundsman or a receptionist. If they are "doing stuff" during these holidays why do they have 'teacher training days' on the first term day after holidays? Marking work is something they do in lesson time after the pupils have been given a task to do. So in reality they do have extended holidays.

Dam right. It's what thatcher wanted. Fuck everybody else and maximise you own profits. No industry gives a fuck about anything but money. Why should teachers?

So they don’t deserve to be paid a fair wage? Fair enough mate. Why don’t you take a pay cut or work for free, is jobs aren’t about making money 🤦🏻

You teach your little prat’s see if you could do their job.

​@@Acheron666Why dont you donate all your worldly possessions to them then, like nurses they are dirty liers when it comes to pay.

​@@DianeD862EASY !

And you do realise that the public sector includes bin men, social workers, Leisure staff, council workers of all kinds, maintenance, caretakers etc etc. If you use the term public workers please define it, my wife works in the "public sector" and hasn't has pay rise for over 7 years!!

Public sector. for the people buy the people (power to the people) oh I ment power to the government

Lucky? 😂

So are you going to go and study at university for 3 years, then an extra year to qualify as a teacher, get into tens of thousands in debt and then go and teach 30 kids in poor conditions for £30k a year? Are you b@llocks.

Doesn’t really take much luck to become a teacher - why don’t you apply if you’re so concerned?

The Government shut schools not teachers. This point is invalid.

@@9DrewD I suspect you’re a teacher, the government shut the schools after the politicking of the teachers unions with both old farts and the bone idlers agitating for lockdowns to apply to schools. You think parents have short term memory loss, a social dementia? 🤔

@@warrenstanford7240 I am and I went into school everyday to keep it open to our vulnerable students. I was in school as usual everyday throughout lockdown so the notion that we ‘did nothing’ is completely false.

@@9DrewD You obviously didn’t major in English Language as per you previous statement the schools were closed for periods of term time. Researched the timeline on the school closures and re-openings and the extremely low attendance by vulnerable schoolchildren (2%) nationwide, the nonsense of infants social distancing and old children in “bubbles”. Another fact 20% of teachers self isolated in January 2020 effectively forcing local education authorities to shut schools. The Education Minister of the time had to resort to threatening schools with court action to re-open for the students. No one owes you a round of applause for doing what you are paid for. As for myself I worked throughout processing natural gas for generating electricity to keep the nations lights on.

@@warrenstanford7240 no I did not ‘major’ in English language. Parents chose not to send there children to school if they were vulnerable. We had around 50 pupils in a day, I went to work everyday throughout the ‘term’ time. Anyway, those who don’t work in education will never understand it.

Oh what have you seen her teach then? Or can you 'just tell'?

@@Paddypoos Looking at her you can just tell.

Well done, let's all race to the bottom instead of building each other up.

I can see your point. I've worked in care since the 1990s. Even a minimum wage policy only bumped the hourly rate up by appx 30p. Middle-earners have a tendency to talk as if they are the bottom rung. They also tend to behave as if low earners (appx 1/5 of the workforce) don't matter, and shouldn't be factored in to economic arguments. Even unions are guilty of not prioritising low-earners' needs first.

Gone are the days to show some respect for Teachers.Blame the parents.

Absolutely

Smart take

Are you thick a teacher doesnt get a massive pension! You have been reading the Sun to much

​@@laurenceBDontYaNoBecause she's not a teacher she's an activist.

She has got a very narrow minded understanding about the causes of inflation. Not what I would want from a teacher.

You dont know what woke is obviously

@@anneheard9381 woke is viewing perceived injustices through the lens of intersectional politics.

@@anneheard9381 you?

The point of striking is to cause disruption. Going on strike during the summer holidays is the equivalent of putting on sunblock in the middle of the night.

@@kilokahn_x3850 Maybe not they claim to 'work' everyday in the holidays.

@@lesley1174 they do use the time within the six weeks to prepare for the next term. They don’t just turn up to work after six weeks and the. Have all this work ready.

@@kilokahn_x3850 Its the same lessons as they taught the year before and the year before that. Unless there is a curriculum change its exactly the same, how does it take 6 weeks to do that? Also if they are 'working' why do they conveniently have a 'teacher training day' on the first day of the new term? Go to any school during holidays and its like the Marie Celeste.

@@lesley1174 I take it from your latest comment you’re a teacher then and talking from years of experience?

Your so right, education education ( Tony Blair ) what utter rubbish they are leaving school as thick as a fxxxxxx plank, in my time we did the three Rs,I could read, write and do basic maths at 8 years of age,I come into contact with young people as an amusement arcade manager, whereupon they haven't got a fxxxxxx clue as to what they have in their hands and to what change they want? I despair it's like pulling hen's teeth, hmm and some of the parents are more thicker than them.

The problem is if you spend all day talking to children it's so much easier to act like them.

The pensions are paid for by percentage superannuation deduction over the working years. Faye was a terrible spokesperson, obviously didn’t do her homework or prepare for that interview. I retired in 2007 from a 70hr week, holidays spent in preparation. If I were 18 again I wouldn’t go into teaching. I still got a buzz from children learning when I retired but not now. And with what is happening with the ‘culture wars’ my conscience wouldn’t allow me.

How does she know she graduated then? I know it's fairly hard to fail a degree as long as you turn up to class but even so...

@@entropy5431 You are quite right, it doesn’t make any sense. She read physics at Durham and was expecting a first. But, it would have been nice to have the news before the graduation ceremony. She is not alone in this and the media haven’t touched it.

This makes no sense anyone can go on strike if they have a Union do you want to ban striking?

"The only job that involves working when you get home" and "working half of Sunday". What cosy closeted world do you live in? Any managerial job leads to exactly that! My baseline was typical 45 hours a week for 46 weeks a year. If a teacher is wasting time prepping in the holidays then they need to plan better. There is little change year on year to a syllabus, so last year's lesson plans are still valid this year. Even if there are changes, they are going to be minor, unless it is a wholesale change to the book list in English. Physics, maths, chemistry etc do not change. Teachers get a good wage and good progression that is simply not happening in the real world. The pension is platinum!

@@familyhelpdeskhelpdesk270 maybe your right. You've obviously been teaching longer than me. All I know is that from my experience is not worth it. The starting salary is pathetic for the workload and it takes years to get anywhere near anything reasonable. You've no idea until you try it.

Yes, teachers would like a return to that level of pay in real terms

How can you “make the effort” if you don’t have anyone to teach you?

Lies, I have 3 sons who are of different ages through the education system and it has got progressively worse. I don't understand why all these crap parents don't want better education for your children? In all 3 of the classes my lot had teaching assistant. I'd like to know where you went to school? I also don't understand why you would let the government off in the absolutely terrible way they have ruined education in this country. Especially as they started charging for it?

What do you mean they dont want to work for it? Did yours not work?
