So a 2.45% payrise is not enough for the teachers of Britain (or at least, those in the N.U.T.), they want 4.1%.
Teachers do work hard, there's no denying it, but they are amply recompensed by good holidays, and salaries already far in excess of a vast portion of the workforce, and yet that is not enough for those alledgedly instilling education and good values into the youth of today.
'Stop working, and you'll get what you want' seems to be the maxim of those on strike - what a splendid example they set to youths all too eager not to do anything.
£20,133 - starting salary (England and Wales)
£34,281 - most experienced teachers' salary (outside London)
+£4,000 - additional pay for inner London teachers
£39,525 - headteachers' starting salary
Nearly £100,000 - most experienced headteachers' salary
£8,780 - starting salary care worker
£14,400 - most experienced managerial level care worker (with 4 weeks paid leave)
I have NO sympathy for the teachers now, not one jot.
