They dont need to sign on the dole mate. They are paid perfectly fine. And a lot more than most professions.
Your first hand experience might reflect what you are stating, but it doesn't reflect the national situation. In the UK, the average teacher's salary is £30,019 p.a. The average salary across all jobs is £38,131 p.a. Employment terms and whether you are paid for 52 weeks or 10 months depends on who employs you. Some are paid for 52 weeks (including holidays). Others are paid for 10 months plus holidays - spread over 12 monthly payments.

Yes I agree. This has become a teacher bitch fest which we all know is pointless. So to the matter in hand.
.....Just to add. Jak doesn't give a **** about £30k a year, he doesn't go back to Asia for less than that a day
I know that buddy. But in the main teachers are paid perfectly fine and in line with comparison positions.
Yes it is. And the difference between average salary and average mean salary is growing each year. https://www.findcourses.co.uk/inspi... UK Salary in 2021/2022?,for a part-time role. Those figures are a year out of date, but it gives an indication.
He's lucky it wasn't Ben10, that ****er goes all out on holiday and likes nothing better than to sup away on cocktails
And in essence you can’t compare average salary either because they are on pay scales. As a teacher progresses to the scales it skews the statistics. I know this first hand. I worked for a very successful school who had a very good teaching base which meant we had staff who had been employed for many years. Most where top of scale. No other profession in the commercial world has a pay scale template. So it’s hard to match. But the reality is most teachers get to the toon of scale and they are paid perfectly fine. And pensioned well. And have fantastic holidays. All be it they may work in them.
