teacher's strike today

Brilliant!

A day off with the kids.

I've been looking forward to it.

Hope the teachers are listened to. Queensland teachers are the worst paid in the country. (Supply teachers aren't though!)

  1. So is it the usual thing of negotiating terms for the new enterprise bargaining agreement?

  2. I am personally less concerned about the amount teachers are paid (though I do think they deserve more) than the fact that once you have taught for ten years, then you are paid the same amount for the rest of your career, unless the unions argue for more, or you become a principal.

  3. Mel - yes. Whatever is decided sticks for 6 years.

  4. I'm interested in what you did with the boys, Simone! Did you have fun?
