Out of complete nosinesses, how much do teachers get paid?

[tikkakormaandsomerice]

So primary teachers
Secondary school teachers

What would they roughly get paid?

How much are you paid

OFFS!! READ IT AGAIN.

There's no point. As has been said repeatedly. IT IS IRRELEVANT!

39k is not equivalent to 55k because it is a salaried role for the year, not paid by the day.

She’s right, I get it.

Here's why the £55k argument doesn't work: because teachers are working harder when they are at work than other graduates.

Exactly 😂😴

Ladies Just find a better job or marry rich😂

I didn't say "most", I said "lots of". But if I'm being pedantic a PGCE is credits towards a Masters, so all teachers have at least part of a Masters.

Still think you're trolling here, the stuff you're saying is really provocative and aggressive.

I mean men too (men can marry rich too of course)

Kind of busts the theory that all teachers work 60-80 hours a week and no one else does any overtime though doesn’t it.

So wait, you mean you DO get paid for your holidays after all?

By 5 hours? According to teachers

Plus you mean, longer. Not harder.

And then there's the holidays

Oh. And there's that mythical no teacher ever says they work harder than anyone else!!

The thing is, the annual salary of a teacher is, say, 39k. They can’t choose to work more days in that job for more pay - the full time job of ‘class / subject teacher’ pays that money annually.

’It’s 55k ‘really’ ‘??

As I said above, an oil rig worker working a 2 week on 2 week off schedule doesn’t ‘really’ have a salary of twice their pay packet. Someone working 3x12 hour shifts as a 36 hour week doesn’t ‘really’ have a pay packet 5/3 of that. They are just different work patterns for a specific annual salary. Teachers have a work pattern that us exceptionally busy in term times and less so out of term time. It’s a compressed hours work pattern, not a ‘part time’ role in which there is the potential to earn more by doing more hours.

Not all teachers do a PGCE though. Lots of primary aged teachers do a degree with QTS.

Jesus fucking christ...

No hun. It’s 195 days pro rata over the year. Do you want to see my terms and conditions? Christ.

All true tho

Moan moan moan

It’s like the mums who do (volunteer) the pta events and then look like they crawled through a bush backwards and complain about how much they hate it and how tough it was. Why do it!? Do something else then!!!

I’m which case hun it’s entirely reasonable to compare it with private sector which, on the same basis would be around 225 days pro rata over the year.

@EigerMum 🙌🏾

So if there is no pay rise what will all the teachers do!? Quit??? I’m curious. As you said you have bills to pay etc so what will you do…..

Loads of sectors! Have you ever worked outside of teaching?!

That graph underestimates teachers hourly working week compared to the DfE's own data which puts it closer to 50 hours a week.

However, it does illustrate that teachers work longer hours during their working week than other graduates so averaging that time out into the holidays needs to be taken into account if you are trying to compare salaries.

I'm a lecturer. It doesn't take an hour to mark a 4000 word essay, you need some training if it's taking you that long.
