Teachers' Strike!

[RetroCat]

If life was such a toil then they wouldn't have gone into the job in the 1st place.

The teachers I know went into the job because they care about education, not for financial reward.

Nope TA's watch the kids during breaks

Maybe some, but not all. I know teachers who do the supervision.

I went to about 8 schools and none of them had a single ta.

Why the animosity toward teachers?

They do a difficult job. There's quite a lot of inaccurate information posted previously in this thread about their hours - they do not do the same hours as the pupils, far from it. In addition, the amount of unpaid hours they do take them well beyond the normal working week.

They possibly all quit the moment they knew I was transferred there.

I think they should stick em on shifts.
With no notice required for shift changes.

For same pay like, less on days.

I don't think anyone's mentioned yet something that is increasingly a fact of teachers' working lives - Google 'assault on teachers by students uk '. Easy ticket? I think not.

It's far from an easy ride.

I reckon, within 25 years, each classroom will have a social worker present.

That was runcorn.

Firstly, they know the pay scale, holidays, working hours when they chose their career.

No-one forced them into teaching.

They do get more holidays than the average Joe and their starting salary isn't bad. Without experience, they can walk into a 21K job?! My first job was 10.5K....and I worked 45hrs/week. I didn't get 13 weeks holiday, I got 4. Maybe I should've striked too?! Oh no, I realized that was the package on offer when I accepted the job offer!

Sympathy = none at all.
