Teachers hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year! It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - babysit! We can get that for minimum wage. That's right. Let's give them £6.08 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or the hours they spend before or after school. That would be £39.52 a day (8:30 to 3:45pm with 45 min off for lunch that equals 6 1/2 hours). Each parent should pay £39.52 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now how many students do they teach in a day, maybe 30? So that's £39.52 x 30 = £1185.60 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year!!! I am not going to pay them for any holidays. LET'S SEE.... That's £1185.60 X 180= £213,408 per year. (Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries). Wait a minute -- there's something wrong here! There sure is! The average teacher's salary (nation wide) is £32,000. £32,000/180 days = £177.77/per day/30 students=£5.92/6.5 hours = £0.91 per hour per student--a very inexpensive "baby-sitter" and they even EDUCATE your kids!' WHAT A DEAL!!!

Interesting take on it lol




Now that's a good way of putting it.

+1 I heard a good on on the radio yesterday

News reporter was asking a teacher that was striking 'why should a person in a high paid job subsidize your pension?' or something like that

The woman replied 'Because we educated them and they wouldn't have that job if it wasn't for us'

Great answer

I haven't read all these replies but here is my view:

I disagree with the striking... at the end of the day the public sector (STILL get good pensions... even if they do have to add more into the pot). At the end of the day... you're getting it back + government final salary contribution.

Private sector... well... we are getting f**k all at the moment... no contributions and no decent pension plans. So... if your willing to oppose my view then go for it... but i guarantee i'll have a better argument.

Solution... The last government employed FAR too many public workers and initiated stupid job roles. Over 1 million jobs were created during the last government to which ALL these people are entitled to the healthy pension. Well... get rid of all these jobs and this will free the money for essential services such as teachers, nurses, border staff etc.

Let me throw up another arguement...

Instead of the government asking for a larger contribution to the pension they actually reduced your wages by £2,000+ a year... This is probably what should be done to keep all public sector people in work. I could understand people kicking off then.

Stop complaining about your bloody pensions...

Dispute isn't over having a good pension. P/s pensions are average to ok. It's having them changed to pay more and get less out of it. Conrtibutions are going up but your final pension goes down.
Put into into car terms. You buy an on finance for 25k. Half way through the finance company say sorry your not having the 2.5 turbo any more and were giving you a 1.6 petrol engine but you still have to pay the 25k. You'd be pretty pissed!

You get a state pension which comes out of your NI. £100 a week basic isn't much but is something. I can't comment much more on private pensions as i don't have any kind of pension scheme thanks to being out of work and going bankrupt a few yrs ago.

The last government



I take it your a conservative supporter

The last point is a piss take really. Private sector workers don't realsie how much of a deal they get out of p/s workers. Stus numbers for one.
Or a comparison like for like jobs public vs private
My Mum again.
Working as a hr manager in the biggest secondary school in basingstoke earned 18k a year. For a similar sized organisation in private that was 35k a year.

Her current job is managing all the training for teachers in hampshire. A similar job at bp but with a fraction of the sites( i have a friend who did it) was on a 6 fiqure salary. You get my Mum doing it for just under 40k a year + a pension which won't compare to a private one in that situation.
The reason she is still in public. Despite the age laws regarding work she wouldn't have a chance getting that kind of job being 54 recession or no recession.

Both cases above seem like a bargain to me.

Maybe public sector workers should say ok then take our pensions and put our wages in line with the private sector?
For teachers that would add atleast 1/4 their wages instantly.
Private gp's earn in excess of 250k a yr. Your gp at the moment earns 90k.

That would give private sector works something to really winge about.

Micky, you would be surprised now days... old jobs may be like this but new ones are deffinatley not.

Pubic and Private are very similar for new jobs. The Public sector also get much more help with mortgages and obviously their pension. Doctors generally are not soely employed by the private sector. The likes of BUPA etc use the same doctors as NHS which work outside their hours or a couple of times a week and obviously get paid vastly more money... understandable really as they are specialists and working outside their hours.

Your example of the to the 1.6 is a little vast. It would simply be an without the sat nav installed. They don't lose their added £100... they simply need to pay this in to get the top contribution which will allow them the full final salary pay. At current if they don't pay the extra £100 they won't get the full top up.

Where is my pension in all this whinging by them?

YES we are being asked to pay more to receive our same projected pension

NO current final salary scheme ends entirely, only what is in it now will grow but further contributions cease as the scheme ends, this pot will dwindle and whatever is left in it you can take at age 60.

All new contributions will commmence into the new scheme on ave career salary and taken at state pension age, for me 66.

as can be seen I will no longer get a pension at 60 or be able to retire, this is the same as state pension for women only to some degree that is being staggered, ie women who could claim state pension at 60 now have to wait until 65 as per men do.

I agree with raising the age, why should public be able to retire earlier than private, you can't say the jobs are harder, not saying they are easier either
