In Islay the local prefer to discuss things in their own homes rather than complain to the relevant authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't think that being paid more for doing a job that is really unsatisfactory in terms of job satisfaction will solve anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If teachers do not like their job where they only work 39 weeks per year they could always look for another job which does not have thirteen weeks and one day holiday per year.

That's exactly what they are doing. This is the point of making the job more rewarding in terms of job satisfaction rather than better paid but no change in the operating system.

Surely it is up to the teachers to tell their union leaders that they would rather have better job satisfaction than a big pay increase. I assume that a teacher’s pension is now calculated the same way as local authority staff on a career average salary rather than their final salary.

BCram Posted 12 March 2019 Report Share Posted 12 March 2019 Assumption is correct, (average salary times number of years service)/80 Say Average salary is £35k for 40 years then pension is 35k x 40 /80= £17.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
