JFKvsNixon Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 They knew the conditions before they signed the contract. Isn't part of the argument, that they want the conditions on the contract that they signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Looks like the strikes were effective. Good on the teachers. Ignore the hate from the clueless people on here and move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 143 times 7 seven sevens are 49, so 98 so 980 three sevens are 21 so 980+21 1001 - £10.01 I did that in my head faster then reaching for a calculator. A mix of the rote tables up to twenty twenties are four hundred and knowing how arithmetic works. rote times tables are exceedingly useful. No they are not exceedingly useful, they can be useful if you work with numbers a lot, and even then the majority of stuff will be done in spreadsheets these days. What is exceedingly useful is problem solving and the ability to understand complex situations and break them down into manageable chunks. But that is very difficult to test in a mass-assessment - which is exactly the reason for the government to stop butting in and let teachers do their job. If we just let professionals be professional instead of chasing dumb targets our kids would get on a lot better in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 http://games.usvsth3m.com/slap-michael-gove/ Maybe an indication of how unpopular this guy is ? You see that sums up the mindset nicely. IF the right wing dont like someone, its settled by someone reasoned debate. The left- well he have the "is Thatcher Dead Yet" websites.... and parties when she died. Glenda Jacksons disgusting vitrol during the speeches in the Commons as well... I dont recall there being any "is Brown dead yet" or "is Blair dead yet" sites.... I dont recall there being parties when Labour incumbents died... there was nothing but glowing praise for Foot and for Smith etc.. Then you get stupid things like that.... For gods sake grow up people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Who don't always appreciate it. ---------- Post added 15-07-2014 at 16:05 ---------- Wonderful pension, wonderful holidays, so what's there to complain about? They knew the conditions before they signed the contract. Hi again Poppet. You appear to have misunderstood my simple question. Top of your list of things "we" don't like in the teaching profession is, you stated, "3 months holidays". Can you tell us why you don't like the fact that teachers get three months of holidays?

I can answer that for her.......jealousy. She won't admit it though. But it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annbaker Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I for one am glad the little toerag has gone. He has set back education in this country years and basically didn't give a whatsit about what teachers, parents or pupils had to say. Far too much of a personal agenda for my liking which was at odds with the majority of the population's view of education. And as for the 3 month holidays there are a lot of teachers who don;t actually get paid in school holidays and have term time only contracts!

hyper Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Er, shall we conclude from this that teachers have no idea of their job description before they accept the position? but that's just it, it's not in the job description. That becomes expected as you settle in. What then? Walk out on x years worth of training and salary sacrifice to become a doleist? Remember, I'm not talking about staying on half an hour because the boss wants you to use the ready mix before it sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
