Brilliant! Lack of discipline? I'd be interested to know when and where your observations took place. All gadgets are turned in to the safe when they enter school, certainly in my one. You are a Daily Mail soundbite. Have a gold star.

Why does wanting to protect your rights have anything to do with profiteering? Yeah. Cut my pay. Please do so. I couldn't give a fig. Why not just give us a monthly allowance and we'll do the job for free.

Proof please. I did three years at University (and a bit more) and have completed another year at the cost of about £12k. £18k to train! :lol: You make it sound so brilliant. The courses must be inundated with applicants. Why don't you have a go?

Spot bloody on. If you want teachers to earn a certain amount then give them a target of hours to work during the week and then let the system fail. Just to repeat my earlier musings... Teachers DO NOT get paid for holidays. The actual work they do equates to not much more than someone earning...

Best of luck. I completed and passed mine last year. It almost broke me. If you need any advice on what not to do, I am your man.

2 out of 5 teachers leave the profession within 5 years of starting work. That is not good for schools or the profession.

Teachers don't get paid for their holiday, but the money is spread out through the year. Teachers are expected to work 1,950 hours, but generally it will work out much more than that. That is more than the average office jockey who works 37.5 hours a week for 47/48 weeks. When I was doing my...
