As a woman, I can step aside, or step up my game... |

Or you must not really know what 'slightly' means. For a politician she isn't bad.

Anyone would think they were in the workhouse to hear their protestations. The stronger the union, the more whinging and strikes we get regardless of the working conditions.

Ask yourself this: Is it the teachers' faults that schools have sold off their fields and shut down their swimming pools? Have teachers asked that there be continuous examination style assessments and streaming, despite the weight of research that these are not good for education? Is it the teachers that have created the scramble to find a decent school for your kids/other peoples' kids? The teachers and the unions are not the problem - the government is the problem. The current government is conservative and has been for some time. Anti-union clap-trap is not the answer. More outcry from the public about the state of education due to government 'reforms' is necessary. Shame there is no decent alternative to the current government. No doubt a fact that suits plenty while they line their pockets without even needing a mandate from the people.

Teachers and their unions fall foul of every government, Tory or Labout because they are self serving whingers who think they can hold us to ransom. Being a teacher is a well paid job these days and conditions are very good compared to many other lines of work. If you don't like the teaching environment then don't be a teacher. I certainly don't always agree with various government policy on education, in fact I think our education is woefully inadequate for many. However, I believe that what ever any government did, teachers and their unions would still complain because at the end of the day they care more about themselves that their students. It would also help relieve strain on the education system if we reduced immigration to a trickle as it should be. Laughably it's usually the same sort of people who complain about conditions in the class room who wanted to suppress all talk of limiting migrant numbers.

I'm happy enough to limit immigration - even to kick people out- if I believed that would mean better services for people: education, health, housing. It wouldn't though, more likely all be privatised and irretrievably out of any present or future government's control.

Hrolf: Try looking at the teaching profession this way: Past and present Government administrations pay far too much stock within flawed Pisa international test results that do NOT provide a level playing field in terms of true academic performance. Educational legislation has been largely based upon limited civil service research with scant regard to everyday chalkface operation. Educational initiatives also arrive at greater frequency than your local bus service hence very little time for schools to adjust and attend to the necessary training. One example of political interference can be summed up by 160 directives issued to head teachers within a spell of 6 months. But as long as Department of Education is seen as doing IT'S job! Schools are now exam factories with children treated as statistics rather than as individuals. Too many schools, esp. primary at Yr 6 SATs stage, abandon many of the foundation subjects to teach to the test. Why? Because their league table and subsequent HMI performance depends upon it all. Schools currently work within an atmosphere of fear. Curricular breadth and balance is a myth. The paperwork (e.g. data,moderation & assessment) vastly exceeds the time that teachers actually...teach! Expect long nights and lack of a weekend. And that's before they have to attend to organising pupil reports that parents all too often pay lip service to. The long holidays are also a myth with teaching staff routinely using to catch up on pupil assessment; planning; reorganisation of the classroom; preparing for next cohort of students; displays etc. An increasing number of academies have severely pared back 'staff holiday time' and even insist upon staff attending to maintenance projects e.g. repainting their own classroom. (Further opportunity to cut costs whilst SLT salaries continue to soar) And yet teachers are NOT blind to the fact that other professions have it hard but there comes a point in time when industrial action is justified when Government behaviour is based upon three brass monkeys attitude. And why do people like myself still teach? Because that moment of transforming a child's life...that moment of providing them with an invaluable stepping stone within their development...is priceless.
