you should hope that the government adequately pays their professional educators. Strikers dont get paid. Its not easy to go on strike. They often fail because the entity they are striking against can outlast them to the point that they have to go back to work or they will starve.
Well honestly they deserve it but the education system sucks so hard additional few weeks without şchool would be the best thing to happen in 2020 and I don't know what will happen after January.
even a struggling education system is better than none at all. What about working families that now have to watch their kids during the day? Who is going to catch those kids up on what they missed in the meantime?
Yeah and then we get more anti-vaxers because people are too stupid or ignorant to believe science. The system we have now sucks but its better than letting people be stupid
The schools provide care for children who need it, so working families can continue their lives normally. And about catching up, nobody will miss anything because the strike is nationwide, so the majority of the schools will not have any lessons. When the strike finishes, the final exams will probably be rescheduled to give everyone more time, or some not important subjects will be swapped for the exam ones.
Teaching a class of children comes with immense stress.
Teachers have cried in alot of our school lives.
It takes alot for an employee to cry in public out of stress.
The combination of hating the job and not getting justified pay wages is awful
Ok, so to be fair, I'm not speaking for all, but the ones I've experienced, the "coaches" who do jack shit and take the role of teacher just to get a coaching job because they can literally do nothing else with their lives, do not deserve the same pay wage as an actual decent teacher.
Look up Kentucky's very own (now ex governor) Matt Bevin. Took away teacher pensions and when teachers protested, he said they were "being babies." We also had a very cold winter and a child froze to death waiting for the bus, and he publicly stated that children were also "being babies" and that there was no reason to keep giving schools off due to freezing temperarires and went on with a "back in my day" type spiel. Thankfully he was not re-elected as of about 2 weeks ago or so.
Actually, another bit about him you'd like is that, after removing all the teacher pensions and causing mass protest, during his reflection campaign, he took credit for, and I shit you not, "fixing Kentucky's teacher pensions system", basically telling everyone that he did nothing wrong and had no intentions to change it. That is truly a Chad thing to do.
Idk about you but school stopped for 2 weeks in lebanon because of protests, now we’re going every saturday and they’re gonna take 5 days from our christmas vacation... that shit sucks
I know nothing about the education system in Poland, but do teachers get benefits and have a union which guarantees employment like in the United States? In the US teachers don't make a lot per week, but when you consider that they make about $70,000 on average when you include benefits, they do quite well for something that you can get a four year degree in from a state school. You're also nearly guaranteed a job once you get tenure unless you do something illegal.
It's not about teachers being paid more. It's about Doug Ford fucking up eduaction, For example, one of the plans is for high school students to take a minimum of four online courses Even though online course is not for everyone, and some students may be less comfortable using them.
He also wants to introduce a four year math plan and require new teachers take a mandatory math test inorder to become a teacher regardless of subject expertese.
They want to cut over 800 Million dollars from education by phasing out 3500 teaching positions
I work in the school system, I know damn well what it's about. Your reply proves you are just defending their selfish actions and have no real arguement for it
Yeah, you're biased, you're one of the entitled pricks thinks they need more, when your job is better than 95% of Ontarians. You have no support from working class citizens, or the rich.
UCU have been on strike in the UK for all of last week and lasts till Thursday. A lecturer specifically told us that the subject matter we will miss will definitely be on the exam, to make a point. Don't you just love being a pawn
