Or you could just read the many intelligent threads on this

Instead of starting a shit one

Oh dear you really are bored tonight aren't you? Why not fill in few job applications to while away your evening?

HTH

coco44 · 30/09/2013 19:55

I recognise my previous debate was inflammatory but would really like to discuss the issues

Ishooos?

jacks365 · 30/09/2013 19:56

Those I know with degrees working in the private sector all earn over 100k so would be much worse off as teachers.

LaurieFairyCake · 30/09/2013 19:56

Your thread title is inane, inflammatory and makes no rational sense.

Why would anyone want to debate such a mind numbingly stupid and judgemental premise?

Fairenuff · 30/09/2013 19:57

Help, they're spawning!!!!

Yorkieaddict · 30/09/2013 19:57

Is that all teachers, better off than everyone in the Private Sector? Er, no!

coco44 · 30/09/2013 19:57

janey Please can you not make this sort of comment.My job is neither here nor there except to say that I have NC ed because I may have clients whose family are teachers

Teachers terms and conditions are swiftly falling in line with the crappiest, private sector jobs out there and teachers enjoy about the same level of job security.
So, YABU I'm afraid OP.

hettienne · 30/09/2013 19:58

Yes, they're better off than (some) private sector workers because they are a strongly unionised profession!

HRHLadyG · 30/09/2013 19:58

What is your criteria to measure 'better'? x

echt · 30/09/2013 19:58

Is this your better re- phrasing of your point?

Better off in what way(s)?

Who are "those in the private sector", precisely?

Snargaluff · 30/09/2013 19:59

Yes, teachers wages are not too bad. I earn about 22000 and have a degree and a masters. I love my job (mostly) and like the break of working home in the holidays and having time to catch up on marking.

Why don't you do it too :-)

coco44 · 30/09/2013 20:00

Ok I think public sector employees have a very good pension (at our expense), better job security than most in the private sector, and I don't think it is in the interests of anyone (other than incompetent employees) to not tie pay to performance.
I don't think teaching is a particularly difficult or skilled job.

So.....what is your criteria for measuring 'better'? x

Did the other thread get deleted? Why? It wasn't a personal attack, just a controversial (actually not really in many circles) opinion

I can see why you've name changed with that attitude.

LaurieFairyCake · 30/09/2013 20:02

Pay is tied to performance

Why do you not know that?
