I'm surprised they have time to strike.. what with having to get up at 4am to mark papers, marking those papers well into the night and having to spend their meagre 13 weeks of holiday time marking papers every day too.


(Not the teachers I know, who - just between you and me - enjoy their jobs and the free-time perks that come with it)

It would only be hypocritical if I'd ever been on strike. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of that option.

I may moan about crappy aspects of the industry in work to others in my line (and be assured there is plenty to moan about), but I won't be asking for (or expecting) any sympathy from anyone else. It's my choice. It's a free world. I can do something else if I don't like what's on offer.

This isn't about nurturing future generations; it's about trying to score a bit more money at an opportunistic moment.


Good luck 'em if they get it (who doesn't want a bit more money?), but there's no moral high ground in play here.

Missing the issue as always folks. Teachers in the UK are not badly paid but they aren?t particularly well paid either. The thing is that teaching is the most important profession in any society*. So the issue is, do you want to make the profession attractive enough to attract and retain the highest calibre of people? More money is the most obvious way to do this.


*Disagree if you like but if you do I will take this opportunity to call you a fucking idiot in advance.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
