@GillianKeegan@RishiSunak@DailyMailUK Are you actually joking?? You are the worst thing that has ever happened to education! We are in the worst state we’ve ever been in. We have no money which means we can’t help the children who need us most!!!
@RogersHistory Surely teachers should be trusted no matter how many years experience they have to manage their students in whatever way they feel both work for them and their students. The importance should be placed on the consistency with which they use a strategy?
@TTRadioOfficial Our timetable is jam packed with not enough time to teach the foundation subjects properly the teachers are knackered the children are knackered it’s just too much in primary trying to keep all the balls in the air!!
@GillianKeegan@Conservatives If this is the case why have we lost so many staff and now got classes of up to 37! We are on our knees financially and physically! I’ve been teaching 25 years and never had it as bad as this.
@cyclingkev@NEUnion@EstherMcVey1 If you really believe this to be the case maybe you should talk to some actual teachers and find out why we’re really quite so cross!!
@GillianKeegan@Lionesses @lucyfrazermp That’s fantastic to see the lionesses supporting girls football in schools. However as an under payed overworked teacher of 25 years who has dedicated her life to the children she teaches. I’d like to know when you are going to discuss the crisis in education?
@GillianKeegan@educationgovuk Especially considering the lack of funding, workload and general poor mental health of teachers caused by a government who neither understands or cares about the very real crisis in education. Maybe spend a year in the profession and experience what is really going on in schools!
Teachers work more unpaid overtime than any other profession. Primary teachers spend nearly 32 hrs and secondary teachers nearly 33 hrs every week working ON TOP OF their teaching timetable.
Return your re-ballot vote for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise ASAP. #PayUpNow
@GillianKeegan have you got any idea what’s going on in schools across England right now? Do you know how many hours teachers are working because we care about the future of each and every child? Are you listening to teachers begging you to reduce workload and increase funding?
THE CALL
Imagine having a really important interview that you’ve prepared years for and you badly want to ace. You’ve worked as hard as you could and have committed your life to it.
Imagine every night going to bed, wondering if it’ll be the next day. But it doesn’t come that next day, the next month or even the next year. The pressure builds and you start to jump when the phone goes between 10am-12pm every day, ready to drop everything for the interview to start.
Imagine knowing that when it finally does come that there’s a good chunk of luck involved and it’ll depend on who interviews you on that day and what they happen to focus on and see.
Imagine praying for one of the good interviewers but you end up with one of the bad ones, who doesn’t listen and has their own agenda but there’s nothing you can do about it.
Imagine it leaves you in pieces and everyone know it’s not fair, but, so be it, and all that will now come your way.
Imagine knowing that that you can’t tell anyone the outcome of the interview, and you have to carry that around, on your own, for what feels like forever.
Imagine what that does to a person.
Imagine a better way.
Disgusting offer by @GOVUK on teacher pay:
- £1000 one-off payment
- Avg 4.5% increase from Sept
- 4% to be funded by schools and the 0.5% by the government
Can’t help but think if @NASUWT would have stood with @NEUnion the outcome would be better 😡😔 #TeacherStrike#reject ✊🏻
