UK Teachers are amongst the best paid and have the fewest hours in the classroom

The story is not quite as simple as the headline would suggest but food for thought.

article from Daily Mail

Same here, and same for my colleagues.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a study of how many UK teachers end up with bladder/kidney problems? It can't be good for us.

The red tape and paperwork are ridiculous. I would much rather teachers had more time to focus on individual children in the classroom. I have no problem with how much they are paid.

I would pay more attention to the OP and the figures if they where correct, but as with so many numbers thrown out about teaching they are bull.

This country does not give correct wages for most jobs a footballer makes how much? Most teachers real salary per hr i crazy low considering they are shaping young minds!
