I should have posted Thursday but unfortunately i was rather busy putting the car in for an MOT. So this week saw the teachers go on strike over pay, this has caused quite alot of arguments in whether or not they should receive better pay.
Personally i feel that they should be given a better deal than the 2.4% rise that was negotiated however 4% maybe a little unrealistic. I have some mixed feelings about striking in that, this profession has a knock on effect that is wide spread, as parents need to take time off work or find sitters for their children it cost those parents money in some way or form. And for those parents that cant afford? well im sure one or two children were left home alone on Thursday which is concerning to say the least.
What i know is that teachers work 12 hour days and weekends to ensure that they keep up with their responsibilities as a teacher. I know that when i was an engineer i got paid overtime and by the hour but this is not so for teachers. The media reports that teachers earn on average £32,000 a year , well id have to say that this number can not be right as a majority of teachers in schools are on the main pay scale and that only goes up to £29,000. It is only when teachers take on management positions do they start to earn this kind of money.
Teachers do have very good holidays but this is not always a good thing as unlike those parents that take their children out of school during term time to go on holiday, teachers have to wait and pay the peak prices to go away. Also i am aware that this time should also used for planning to ensure our children are taught exciting new subject topics unlike those days of boring copying out of a book.
One out of the six unions took part in the strike to get better pay, however im pretty sure that if a better deal is negotiated that those other five unions will accept that money. Its just a shame they all didn't stand together on this as im sure this issue would be solved more quickly instead of it resulting in another strike in the near future.
And lets face it, their are not many people out their that truly want to spend their days with badly behaved children, you don't that's why your glad to get rid of them in the morning.
Plus as this government insists on filling our country with the filth, well this also must enter our school where teachers have try and teach modern day values to children that do not want to be taught and do not speak English. A typical School in Manchester or London can have up to 13 different languages and high level of pupils that do not speak English and that will be their one day and shipped out the next. All in all teachers have a shit job at the best of times with this government fucking this country up, so is it not fair that they at least get paid fairly? The job may not be rewarding enough as the novelty wares off and your left with the cheap unqualified teachers from eastern Europe teaching your children, but i guess that just another step into this countries inevitable future.
