Remember that lolllipop man who got reprimanded s for high giving the kids as they crossed the road? He used to get shitloads. Would drive past and he’d have about 20 bottle bags on the wall.
Praise be, a teacher who can't spell.Genuinely one of the worst things I have ever read. Worked in a range of jobs before teaching and never worked anywhere near the hours I do now, and that's just time spent at school never mind at home working.
A joke people want to moan about holidays when a lot of their fondest childhood memories will have come during this time. Funnily enough the holidays aren't there for the sole benefit of the teachers. So let's cut teacher holidays and keep children in the classrooms for longer.

Can imagine this ending up as point scoring between jealous parents "our Jack got his teacher a kit kat and a lovely card", "Eeee, well that's nowt! Our Trish got her teacher a card plus a round the world cruise! So ner!"
I honestly don’t know how he could if carried them all back when he finished. Suppose it’s the little things really that the kids appreciate.The lollipop man next to my street has been there years and he's dead canny. It's funny passing him on the last day of term and he's standing there with a big pile of cans
Didn't read your post sorry. Was way to busy buying £1000 Harrods vouchers for our little Chantelle to hand to all the wonderful staff at Grindon JuniorsIt is, hence my sarcastic post earlier in the thread.
Level 2 TA circa £13000 and expected to do out of hours clubs for no pay so parents dont have to pay childmindersYes, teaching assistant the same.
If a TA is on the same grade as a binman say £19000, the binmean will get £19000 while the TA will get £17500 or something similar.
Paying under NMW. Confront Head and Governors, they'll shit themselves.Level 2 TA circa £13000 and expected to do out of hours clubs for no pay so parents dont have to pay childminders
I've bought our kids teachers Costa vouchers this year. However, is it the norm to write the voucher value on the gift card, or should I leave it blank?
..She sounds awful.My teacher daughter always gets a fair few presents at this time of the year, am sort of paraphrasing here (so apologies to the sensitive souls) but she does not give a toss, she is just glad to see the back of the little fuckers.
Sounds like you’ve brought her up to be an ungrateful little sod! Shame on you!My teacher daughter always gets a fair few presents at this time of the year, am sort of paraphrasing here (so apologies to the sensitive souls) but she does not give a toss, she is just glad to see the back of the little fuckers.
Ok. But they’re not going to be on the same grade or even close right? So as a comparison does it even work?Councils grade jobs for their workers. So if a binman is grade 5 (£19000) and a TA is grade 5 the TA won't get paid the full 19000. Only 45 weeks pay but spread out over 12 payments.
Figures above aren't exact.
Agreed denny lad. The big lads would have took it off me on the way to school.Back in my school days you'd have rightfully got a good hiding if you brought in gifts for the teacher ffs
Genuinely one of the worst things I have ever read. Worked in a range of jobs before teaching and never worked anywhere near the hours I do now, and that's just time spent at school never mind at home working.

Not with Durham county council. Contracts are until 31 August and 31 March.They are paid during the holidays because their annual salary is divided up into 12 x monthly blocks. The 6 weeks is time they’re not contracted to work.
Think they’re paid for sumit like 39 weeks
But teaching assistants are term time with 13 weeks leave. A binman would be full time with 5/6 weeks leave. Hence the difference in pay. Teaching assistants can't work over the summer.Councils grade jobs for their workers. So if a binman is grade 5 (£19000) and a TA is grade 5 the TA won't get paid the full 19000. Only 45 weeks pay but spread out over 12 payments.

Exactly this. A good head wouldn't allow this to happen. People should be paid for what they do.Paying under NMW. Confront Head and Governors, they'll shit themselves.
Binmen get more than TAs I thinkOk. But they’re not going to be on the same grade or even close right? So as a comparison does it even work?
As I've said TAs don't get paid for the six weeks.Not with Durham county council. Contracts are until 31 August and 31 March.

I help out with teaching occasionally at secondary school and do Science Club at primary school. It means I get the fix of inspiring kids but without the stress, bullshit, Ofsted, the complete fuckwittery that is SATs and the politics. If I was a full-time teacher I wouldn't want or expect a gift. I think a thoughtfully written card is far more meaningful and appropriate. I did a bee talk with a glass-fronted observation hive for Year 1 kids last year. They made me a thank you card and I've treasured it.
Not contracted to work during those 6 weeks, so don’t get paid for them. They get paid during the holidays, but not for the holidays.
