today the civil people of britian were on strike....

disturbing childrens education, people having to take days off work....

why?

because they dont think 20k is enough to be paid in a year!



what do we reckon to it all?

[MiNi FiZ]

fair play. you cant survive on 20k a year

theres a difference between living and existing

i was quite annoyed because all the other school were off and we wern't

[wolfys_mini]

but you shouldnt want to be off! they are disrupting your education, something that helps you earn money in the future.

2:police strike,we do their job for them

[wolfys_mini]

the armed forces, all of them, they should be the people being paid more! not teachers!

but i do want to be off my school is a ******* hole, you get taught by teachers you CAN NOT understand

[wolfys_mini]

then you need to bring that up with the school

school days are the most important days of your life, followed by college, then university.

im not some oldie spouting all this, i left school 4 years ago

[RobJaxon]

20k is not what teachers are on. They start on 23k. And it goes up with the amount of years they have stayed at the school for.

people do bring it up but all the other teachers say that they can understand them
yeah i know there the most important days of our lives. i go to school and college at the moment and i have done a year of carpentry and 6 months of plumbing and electrics and it has been a good laugh, the teachers there are good and they treat us like adults and i already have my college place for when i leave school doing carpentry ?(sorry if that sounds like im having a go im not )

20k was a general term for all civil servants, an average ish if you will

I sympathise with the teachers mostly, its one of those jobs the government is trying to make as difficult as possible. I don't see why parents have to take a day off work though? Do those same parents take 6 weeks off work during the summer?

[MiNi FiZ]

4 weeks

We are not allowed to go on strike.

As I recall, when the fire brigade went out on strike, we ended up having to escort all the tenders to calls.

Please get your facts straight.

What the hell that much money plus you get school holidays.
And before someone says it I know they do a lot of work out of school hours but bloody hell even when I’m fully qualified I’d have to pull some major overtime to get £34k
