I observed that teachers have a 'cushy' job to which I was promptly corrected by several pillars of the community. Of course teachers have a cushy job. I'm not saying anything about how much they should/shouldn't be paid, that's not for me to have an opinion on but if teaching isn't a cushy job I don't know what is. Lots of people from my University course (I did English) went into teaching precisely because it was a cushy option!
13 weeks holidays, no weekend work. Apart from around exam time you always have the option of finishing work at 3:30. How cushy can it get? I'd love to see a teacher try and claim that they didn't have a cushy job to a Nurse, Fireman or Police Officer! We need teachers, they are very important of course but its not exactly hard labour or the most pressured of jobs is it??? Teachers don't have to make life/death decisions on a daily basis do they (unless perhaps they teach at Willowgarth!).
Unions should be there to be a voice of a workforce to ensure fair working conditions. It should not create a line of sheep who walk away from educating children for financial gain.
Right, I'm going on a week long strike now because my boss is just too good looking!
