Too right they should be on strike. The missis is a teacher and works far harder than I do for less money. She had to do an extra year of qualifications than me, is in work for 7.30am, leaves at 5.30pm and then does another 2 hours work at night and works weekend s and (admittedly long) holidays, all the while looking after uncontrollable kids and the aggressive parents whose inability to control themselves is reflected in their childs behaviour. Put it another way, all who want to criticise - why don't you becoem a teacher if its so easy??
I didnt say it was easy, to be a good teacher. But how does paying them even more money make it any easier?
I plan to become a teacher When I retire. Feet up getting the kids to copy out of books. No childcare issues Loads of jollies. Inset days (FFS). Final Salary pension. Sounds like an ideal retirement.

some do, some dont I know of one particular teacher who is having people copy off the exact same notes now that she was 9 years ago with no speaking allowed in the class.
I mean that surely if she is so unhappy with her pay then they must have dropped it considerably from the pay she was more than happy to accept when she applied for the job
To be honest she's not and its not her union thats striking, and a lot of the inconsistencies in how teacher's have been paid over the years have been corrected. There now paid for taking on more responsibility rather than years service which is right. Just sticking up for teachers in general, and plus this strike is in protest at the below inflation rate pay rise offer
