Thanks to everyone who has contributed - some interesting comments both for and against the dilemma. The theme of mutual agreement is a common one to but also the idea that the car-owner dictates the arrangements was quite high as well.

The actual amount that K pays is £10 a day or £200 a month which is about a fifth of his wages.

Considering that a few suggested that M is already going to the same place of work ( a school by the way) anyway and why should K pay for what has been calculated as a profit making transaction. Thanks to whoever did the maths and research...so next question....

How does K resolve the issue and pay what is fair - assume that fair would be half the cost of getting to school?

Really!! Worst paid graduate profession upon leaving university - the average of £30,000 is a con by our government - I had to teach for nearly 8 years before I earnt £28,000 and that meant taking on extra responsibilities for extra money.

But you work half a year, and a short day ?!? :rotfl:

Ems!

So K earns around £1000/month in a job which would cost him £45/day to get to on public transport??? I really don't understand why he would have taken the job to start with - how did he know he would be able to get a lift?

( I do think £200 is on the high side btw, I just find how he got into the situation puzzling ??)

regarding "resolving" it - are they good friends? only way is for k to talk to M I would've thought

K's GF works in town B...K was doing supply before offered post in town S - hence the reason for the commute.

Exactly.

£28,500 for working 9 months of the year - thats £3166 per month or just shy of £800 per week or on a 6.5hr day nearly £25per hour.

Not only that how hard can it be to sit and spout about something you hardly know about for 6.5 hrs a day.


In terms of payment for time worked id say being a Teacher is the way forward!

So are you teasing me as well ...:A ...but I rise to the jest...

I train teachers and they work very hard to complete their studies and plan lessons and prepare for them, you can't just turn up 'spout a few facts' and then go home - maybe 40 years ago you could but not now - go to this website and just see the stuff teachers have to include in their lessons...

and tell me that's just spout and go. I wish it was sometimes but that's the challenge of teaching, creating interesting lessons to ensure pupils make progress and gain an understanding of the world around them - off topic I know but needed to be said - you might want to see my other thread (6 months training for teachers in the employment section!)

I am teasing, but there is a truth to it as well!!!

K always has the option of going by train and bus if he feels he is being taken advantage of..........
