Teachers dispute settled?

[mcmanus]

Christ, teachers babysit and try to educate children at the same time for near 200 days of the year.

I get nowty looking after both my sisters kids within 5 mins if they start playing up.

Perhaps some have jobs and are actually scraping to make a living, let alone accrue a pension.

And maybe some have employers who don't indulge in people taking time off work.

But what the fuck?

And maybe some parents got fined for taking their kids out in term time for a holiday then had to pay extra childcare when the teachers went on strike

What's that got to do with the price of peanuts?

Can teachers piss off for a week to Spain for a holiday whenever they want? No, they have to pay school holiday prices too.
Do you think your child's teacher is in charge of dishing out fines?

To be fair my kids left school over 5 years ago and to be honest they had supply teachers whilst their regular teachers were off. We were given permission for a family holiday in school time think they were glad to have a break from my youngest. And one teacher who wanted to have a meeting with me said she worked late til 4.30 every day not appreciating that I worked til 5 and had to get back from Manchester, she couldn't make the meeting at 6 she would be long gone.

I doubt they were in Benidorm.

Maybe she had a young child and had to get back to them. The teacher would have only been contracted to 3:30ish so she would have had no obligation to stay until 6 (in fact, the school was probably shut then)

To be fair she probably had a shit load of marking to do when she got home. I know the poster JOTS told as it really is for teachers some time ago and it really opened my eyes.

Yep don't have to do 9 to 5 do they?

Why do parents seemingly care more about the strikes causing loss of childcare than the loss of education?
Teachers are there to educate, not child mind.

The same parents will then take their kids on holiday during term time.

Lol if only women could stay at home and look after their kids and elderly parents it would solve so many problems.

No they start a lot earlier than that, do you even know any teachers? Their work doesn't stop at evenings and weekends, unlike most peoples and I think you're one of them eh BBB?

It would solve some, yes. But not all.

The women would probably end up on tranks and a century of women's rights would fester and end up with murder.

My son-in-law gave up a great job in engineering to be a teacher. He works about 60 hours a week for £25 grand a year less than he earned before and he's been in school for a few hours every day this week while he's supposedly on holiday.
A large proportion of his weekends are taken up with marking too.
