Primary school teachers on $70,000 want a pay rise of 21%

My sides are splitting with laughter...

I always worked in a job that wasn't allowed a union, or to strike or to demand a pay rise...but isn't that what unions etc do...start high and barter it down through negotiations. Wouldn't be surprised if they all ask for a rise in the high teens/low twenties to set the ball rolling but knowing they won't get it.

Do you think before you post crap? Closer to primary school teachers earn $70 000 every two years.

You obviously don't listen to SA talkback radio shrek...?

Maybe a Tasmanian...?

Or maybe just don't listen to talkback. Seriously, few teachers get that much.

Heads of Department would be close to that figure

I agree teachers do a great job

I look after your parents.

Sometimes in a dementured state...

We have to keep the cost down because older people can't get there money from wage rises...

Pension rises...

The government doesn't want to know about your parents..!

I am on Far Below the average wage. I am embarrassed to tell what I am on...

The quality of life for these health workers and the work load are a joke.

No one wants to know..!

Petrol and food are at breaking limits.

The Aged Care Industry is in Trouble...

Let me ask you Dog_ger. How much do you think a GOOD teacher is worth? I'm genuinely curious how much value you place in someone who plays a positive and significant role in educating children.

It´s a shame teachers didn`t teach you how to finish a sentence with correct punctuation.

The ones you decribe deserve to be paid well, the others should be sacked, and there is plenty of both catagories.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys...and you're right - there are a few monkeys!

As a broad group, excluding the exceptional teacher, they haven't done in years. Sixteen years ago, or so, I knew a history lecturer at Adelaide Uni, who scrapped his first term curriculum to teach the kids basic reading comprehension and writing skills after the first couple of papers came in.

My son would have been better off with a monkey than the dinosour he had one year in Primary school, parent aquantaince night, first disturbing quote "I'm an old fashioned teacher with old fashioned ways and I will not change for anyone". Boys were not allowed to leave the class room to go to the toilet, Girls were etc. etc.

21% spread over 3 years Dog.

Marking out of hours,preparing curriculum during holidays and on weekends and putting up with up to 30 5,6 or 7 year olds at any one time and you think $70k is over paid?

The real world awaits your arrival.

We all know that's because everyone who does an Arts degree is stupid/lazy/stoned.

Dog ger - why should teachers not be allowed to seek a better deal?

Maybe it's time the Aged Care system did the same.

The government is as involved in that system as it is education...

Sounds like you and the aged care industry is doing it tough. Make a thread about that rather than worrying about teachers. I believe people such as yourself, people who educate and look after children and nurses should all be paid a lot more but like everyone else I'm worrying about my own sorry arse.

Well said REB.
