Teachers Strike

[Geestar]

Any teachers on here striking today?

Time everyone got behind them!

 

[supaseagull]

Why?

 

[dougdeep]

It's time they were fined for taking time off in term time.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

Any of them available for Saturday? We could do with some strikers!

 

[Geestar]

Why?

Use the skills you were taught and read up on it

Hmm. Averagely long days and extortionate holidays for a very good salary (compared to many). I think not.

Good salary? Clueless.

Let us know their salary rates then we can judge for ourselves.

And take into account the fact that most teachers get 12 weeks + holidays a year - I get 4.

 

[Brighton Mod]

No sympathy here, if you don't like the job change careers. Is there a shortage of teachers and would be applicants, no. Game over.

Day off college!

I tend to support 'the working man' during direct action, which is easy when it has no direct effect on my day to day life such as my bin not being emptied, who cares? but this is a ball ache, I've had to take a day off work and not only have 'the boy' to amuse but one of his mates as well.


however this should not be relevant as to whether to support a strike or not, so with that in mind I'm 100% behind the teachers on this one

Good salary? Clueless.

My ex-wife is a teacher, my sister is a teacher and my cousin is a teacher. They earn £55k, £38k and £41k ( not in that order ). All these I would class as good salaries.

Of some age I guess... 4yrs of study to come out at 25k and hardly a rapid increase

I don't need to. I know quite a few teachers and even they think the reasons why the NUT are going on strike is ridiculous and just an excuse for another day off.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Yep, this all over!

£18k pay when training.

Average wage in the South East, including TLR is £32000.

Che Guvara once said "it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees" good to see he doesn't speak for everyone

 

[Ravids]

Yep, this all over!

I had a real BORE of a day too, absolute result.

I support the teachers, all the way.
