They should be bloody charged £50 a day for taking time out of school like we do if we take kids out for holiday. Starting to get very very ar$ed off with money grabbing teachers.

They'll lose pay for every day they're out Kronic, and probably more than the £50 pd you propose to fine them.
Withdrawing your labour to try and improve your employment is hardly the same as making your kids truant for the sake of a cheap holiday. The Tolpuddle Martyrs would be turning in their graves at that copmparison.

I'd like too see any of the people above try teaching in a modern state secondary school. I am sure they'd be wrecks within a day.
If you value your kids you should value teachers. They work very long hours, always including evenings and weekends, in an extremely demanding job and Gove keeps dumping on them. Teachers are now leaving the profession in droves. It almost impossible to find a maths teacher to fill a post and unqualified staff are increasingly being used in classrooms.
Mr Kolonic. If you think the pay and conditions are so good why don't you become a teacher..... or is being a state-supported bigot the sum peak of your ambition?

Country Boy = Those that can't, teach ! Never more true !
Surely, like everyone else, if you are in a job that becomes something you didn't expect or you dislike, you simply seek a better, more suitable position. No one is forcing teachers to stay disgruntled. Show some initiative and move your career. Oh, you like the holidays !

@ Mr non-sensible.
Never had a day out of work in the 30 odd years since i left school. As for teachers, 13 weeks paid holiday, paid more than most emergency services, sitting on their fat ar$es all day. Im in the wrong job !!!

Teachers spend most of the day standing up. They have studied for a degree and taken a pgce. They teach during the day and mark and prepare lessons at night and at the weekend. The reason you are in the job you are is because you are an uneducated ars3hole. You would certainly never make the grade to be a teacher.

Tell you what, let's all fight about it and then the government can do what ever they like to the country while we're bickering about whether someone on, not that bigger wage for the qualifications and experience (duty to care etc), is striking or not. Going on strike is not the end of the world, you peopel have been brainwashed intot hinking it is EVIL, it is your right to protest, but you brainless ninney hammers have decided to walk the party line and tell everyone how BAD people are for trying to make a point when they aren't being listened to by the government you elected. People only strike when arbitration has failed. Commonly at the moment it is failing because the governmnet refuse to speak to the unions and then use the unions to hit people with by saying how nasty they are , when infact it is they who are holding out and won't meet/talk to the elected union representatives.

There's a reason why 40% of teachers only last 5 years in the job .. this is because it's a really really difficult job. When training to be a teacher in year 4 I was shown a room at uni where all the last 4 years government directives/programmes of study/curriculum advice blah blah was kept (English only), it was piled high from floor to ceiling. Teachers have to get their heads around change change and more change whilst also getting on with the job in hand. Every party that comes to power, change it all, even when certain policies are working, in the name of short term vote winning, or pure retro thinking in the case of Gove. And then you have the Mr Goves and many many parents who are constantly critical, undermining and downright dismissive of this profession - and guess what? Young people follow in their footsteps. Disaster. Everyone thinks they know what to do about education because they went through it themselves. You cannot know what its like unless you are a teacher yourself. Teacher's are treated like canon fodder and I am absolutely not surprised that some of them are up in arms about it.

Much the same way that anybody with a car is not allowed to protest against fracking.

Teachers actually lose the equivalent of 2 days pay for each day they strike, due to the amount of holidays they get. I very much doubt any decision to strike is taken lightly
