Teacher pay

[Maddie05]

Seeing a lot online at the moment about teacher pay increases being unreasonable. I think teachers do a lot in society and a lot of what is expected of teachers appears to be out with their paid hours.

Am I being unreasonable to think they deserve a pay rise in like with inflation?
(FULL DISCLOSURE - I am not a teacher but I have children in a school and I volunteer on a PTA)

The workshops only have spaces for 24 pupils.
Although I have had 30 in one class but it meant that 6 pupils couldn't do any work, which was repeatedly explained to the management when they complained about lack of engagement.
There are also H&S issues with classes over 24 and DATA guidelines about practical working areas in schools which are just ignored.

That's just the tone of AIBU.

And to be honest teachers do get pissed off with with the world and heir wife knowing better then them what their job entails...

Got it - DT is it?

You are correct.

There’s at least one (now deleted) personal attack on a teacher here too - would be silly to extrapolate from that that parents have a PR problem though (another, more general attack).

Nearly correct. 2 top sets of decent size, 2 nice manageable A level sets and a relatively dinky further maths set.
Sadly, I don’t set the reporting schedule in school - we are beholden to the ideals of SLT, many of whom have minimal teaching contact. I totally agree, utterly bonkers to have them all at the same time. I’d rather have parents’ evenings. Having said that, I’m very concise when reporting back on exam papers so whilst time consuming and of questionable value, I feel pretty efficient 😂
