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

[tikkakormaandsomerice]

So primary teachers
Secondary school teachers

What would they roughly get paid?

So nurses should also stop complaining about wages because really they're only part time, same as ambulance drivers, firefighters, oil rig workers, drs....anyone who doesn't follow a 9-5 pattern and does things like 3x12 hour shifts over the week.
They only work 141 days a year! (3x41 + 5 weeks holiday)

🤣

I did ask, but I'm not sure anyone has answered

How much do teachers think they should be paid for their 195 days?

Yes, teachers are quitting, leaving vacancies and classes who do not have a teacher.

What will the government do is the real question.

I do 100% think we need to improve conditions, I don’t think that’s in question. Teachers are having to do more with less funding than they used to.

Here’s the question, and I know the answer will be “both” but let’s assume that’s really not affordable.

If you’re a teacher would you rather your pay went up by eg 15%, or would you rather the resources you have available to you (largely driven by number of other staff) went up by 15% and therefore demand dropped proportionally?

It doesn’t feel like a 50/50 split of new funding would really make anyone happy or enough of a difference?

Not at all true! You live with your head in the clouds. Totally the norm to be a head of a department while still carrying out your job.

If we all leave teaching what do you think will happen to schools, pupils….

Yep haha

I thought teachers had absolutely fantastic pensions...is that not correct? That counts for a huge amount (if correct)

As above, how much DO you think a teacher should be paid?

100% correct, and so often overlooked or misunderstood.

It must be your just theory, because who else claims that?

Just your! Not your just.

Yes. I didn't enter teaching until my mid 30s. I took a pay cut to do so. But I was bored stiff in the corporate world. So much time wasted doing nothing.

Post a link to a single job advert for a deputy head of department in London, (requiring a degree for an entry level position) for 45k.

At the very least the same as teachers in Scotland. And probably a little more as cost of living is generally higher in England.

You've already worked it all out haven't you? 55k apparently.

@Itstarts

Post a link to a job advert for a head of dept where the working days are 195 a year

How’s

Please tell me how you're supposed to be a head of department while teaching full time? I'm finding it impossible. I had to leave a lesson half way through with an LSA to sort out a staffing issue today. That happens multiple times a day.

hows u

And employer pension contributions are 25%

@MrsHerculePoirot

'And probably a little more as cost of living is generally higher in England.'

Really?

😂

They’re expecting to do bigger all for corporate pay

Bugger all

This thread is hilarious

First of all it's only teachers (and police) experiencing massive rises in housing costs and now the whole of England

😂
