Nothing like flying in the face of public opinion! Please do tell us what the truth is.
Nice attitude from a teacher there, well done. Should bring a wealth of support with that post

I've been a teacher for 35 years and I still don't earn £40,000 - I have to suffer all the **** your hopeless, hapless spawn give out on a daily basis. I live for the day when National Service is reintroduced and the majority of your ****wit kids are reduced to cannon fodder - because the majority of you arsehole parents have managed to evade the above! Beware!! you are next.

Sorry to press the point about pensions again but I don't seem to have had a reply to my question from a teacher on here..........which I will pose again
Do you think it's fair that a teacher gets 75% of their salary as a pension after 30 years whilst an NHS worker has to work for 40 years for a pension of 50% of their salary.
Teacher = 10 years less contribution for 25% better pension than the NHS
NHS pension contributions were raised in 2008 without much fuss.

Too true!! STILL don't earn £40k after 35 years. Sounds like you think you SHOULD earn £40k. Many people in this world don't even have jobs. Those that do have jobs FAR FAR worse than teaching (OK teaching is far from perfect). But you are paid above average, have an amazing pension and STILL complain!!!
Get off your **** and go to work!

Has anybody else noticed that it's the usual bunch of Scoobynet trolls, wasters, morons and idiots who are the most vocal in their vilification of the teaching profession?
Perhaps they blame teachers for their own past educational failures and current social inadequacies. Personally, I think they are probably just poor misguided fools who believe all the lies that the politicians and media feed them.
The sad thing is that I thought some of them generally posted in a controversial style for dramatic effect, but this thread shows them up for what they really are.

Good luck in getting an answer. 10 pages on none of the so called teachers who have spent many many years in academia or those in public sector have been able to give a reasonable answer to plugging the huge and mounting pension deficit, not reforming their pension or indeed able to justify their retirement package in light the current economic climate and with a few resorting to childish name calling. These are the people that are supposed be educating our children!!

The clincher for me was the Beeb interview of Lord Hutton on the Politics Show the weekend before last. If an ex-Labour minister says there's no choice but to reform public pensions and says so in a multi-party report that was months in writing, you know the game's up really:

Everyone is going to be worse off while we remain in recession. We just have not got the cash and we cannot afford the interest rates to get any worse by borrowing it.
I think people should accept that if the country's economy did go down the tubes, everyone would be in a financial hole which would be very painful.
We have to recover from the mess that NL has got us into with its totally irresponsible financial policies-ie just keep borrowing it and **** against the wall!
We have to accept that there will be financial downsides until we get on top of the situation.
Mass strikes will put us a lot closer to going to the wall!

Teachers need a wake up call. For too long they have had it too good. I work in schools around the country as a contactor and all i have heard is moaning about pay freezes and pensions, Well welcome to the real world. I dont have anyone making contributions to my pension? ive had no pay rise in 18months.
There is too many people going into teaching for the easy ride, nice pension, sick pay, plenty of holiday etc The level of care and teaching in some schools is awful, i really hope they Governmnent dont give into these unions.

If you can't get, say, 9 GCSE's at grade C and above you get national service.

1. They have had TWO payrises per year for decades.
2. They get an automatic move up the payspine worth 7.5% each September.
3. They have had an annual payrise each year to cover cost of living.
4. Their Pensions are the best in the world - 75% of Final Salary after just 30 years work!
5. They are only directed to work 26 hours a week ... think about that, when they say they have to work extra hours they mean over and above 26 hours a week ... the rest of the world has been working 40 or more for ever!
6. They receive 12 weeks holiday a year. Maybe they mark papers whilst sat on a Caribean beach ... is that 'really' working?
They have been found out, caught with their hands in the Taxpayers pockets and we ain't putting up with it anymore!!
GET BACK TO WORK and do what you are paid an enormous amount to do!!

Pure example of a teacher not really getting "The Real World" TM
A teacher on Breakfast News this morning together with a chap from chamber of commerce.
Commerce chap says that for a teacher to receive £24K a year on retirement the pension "pot" would have to be half a million.
The teacher then starts ranting that teachers don't have a pension pot - yet no more than 2 sentences ago it was explained that teachers pension are Defined Benefit schemes.
A defined benefit scheme states that you will get X a year in retirement - where the f*ck does she think the money comes from? The money required to pay X a year has to be set aside. It is still effectively a pot of money to provide that pension.
And this business about them being horrified they have to work over 65 - our MD is 71. He has more go in him than most people younger than me. Public sector in general think they have a right to the things the private sector have to fight for tooth and nail.
In this case, teachers behave no better than the workshy benefit fools that believe housing and wellfare is a right not a privilege.
And while I'm giving this coffee fueled sermon, there were two mentions on the news about public sector pensions reducing over the years - What? How? Wages will still go up, pension contributions will have to go up all the time, even if you reduce the number of people in the public sector, the cost of the others will eventually overtake any saving made by not taking on new staff. That to me is complete government rubbish.

I looked into this "cost of pensions reducing" from Hutton's report and on the face of it it's true for the data they use / estimate. The cost of public pensions 2010/11 is 1.9% of GDP but forcasts on long term growth indicate that the percentage of GDP taken for public pensions in 20 years time will be 1.5%.
Lord Hutton's growth figures are a bit iffy though LOL
The actual cost of pensions will rise by billions in real terms though.......

Just watching a bit of the news and they interviewed three deluded morons that some of you would probably call teachers. One waffled about how hard her life is already (LOL), another about how they didn't want to disrupt children's education (well you are doing you stupid bitch) and a third about how the public support them.... LOL at her ... she needs chucking in the nearest mental asylum if she really believes that.
To think these w4nkers are supposed to be intelligent people charged with shaping the future of the nation education wise... I despair.
I just hope Cameron grows a spine and doesn't back down in any way. Not holding my breath though.

Holding the kids to ransom over pension is a disgrace. They should take note of what private sector workers face eg: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/17166134-a...#axzz1QknfIr3m
and get some real issues.

Anyone have a source confirming the previous deal was 75% of final salary after 30yr service? My colleague who's wife is a teacher is adamant that 40/80ths is the max as per the NHS, ie. 50% for 40 years service.

If you were a member of the scheme before
1 January 2007 the method of calculating
benefits, which will consist of an annual
pension and a lump sum based on
reckonable service and average salary, is as
follows:
Pension = Service x Average Salary/80
The automatic lump sum is three times the pension

I felt obliged to point out the incorrect spelling on some of the placards on the picket line outside the kids’ school this morning.
Teachers have no sense of humour.
