    haha my own failings? That is simply not true. I have nothing against teachers. I had some very good teachers when I was in education, and they deserve the pay they get and more.

    However some 'teachers' I had simply did not deserve to be employed full stop. I also know many second rate graduates who simply opted for teaching as they couldn't do anything else.

    Now if we paid more we could get better teachers. So I would be in favour of paying more, but this must come in exchange for methods of riding our schools of the teachers that do not deserve the name and there are many!

    I'm not sure if Solicitors' pay is quite what you think it is

    to be honest mate. Aside from very large firms in London, the pay is generally higher but not 100% to 150% more which is what you are suggesting or at least how I interpreted your post.

    Graduates were also given huge incentives to join teaching after University, whereas if you decided to go for the private sector you have to pay off all your debts. I would have thought it is a fair reward for taking this risk.

    I bet you're certainly not on £28,000 a year.

    Swiss bank account territory that. What would you do with those kind of riches???

    Well said Cheftyke. It is what I would have said if I didn't have my antagonistic hat on.
