Tarring teachers with the public sector brush is totally unwarranted in my experience... obviously there are bad and good ones but the average teacher works harder and cares more than the average contractor, that's for damn sure.Comment

I feel for the strikers but since the turnout and vote percentage was so low, can't help feeling that the strike is unwarrented.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by Jeff Maginty View PostThat is grossly unfair. Would you put up with the intollerable situation that teachers nowadays face; that of having all of the responsibility for kids but none of the authority to control them? And for the kind of (very modest) money they get paid? Just to confirm: I am not a teacher and have never wanted to be, but I respect those who choose teaching as their profession. It's a far more righteous way to earn a living than many jobs nowadays (don't get me started on bankers!).

Jeff.
The modest salary? It's actually very good given circumstances. Again that's the choice. The pressue in the private sector world is however just as harsh.
I believe teaching is about vocation. And should atract those that want that vocation. Not those that want an easy ride. Which too many are in for.
However, my best man? He's a top bloke, who really cares. Makes an effort. Some of my other friends like the holidays and pension....Comment
