    Sorry I dont agree with the comments on here. Im a trainee primary teacher and teachers are some of the hardest working people I have. It is no 9-5 job, it is 7am - 11pm job, plus weekends, plus some of the holidays. People see teachers as having it easy with the 'long' holidays - but you dnot get to enjoy half of them as you are busy planning, assessing, marking etc. Teachers have to prove themselves in their job like everyone else, they get observed in school and externally and need to meet the grade. As a teacher there is no moment to cut off it is very different to other professions. 10% may seem a lot but they deserve it, after all, if it was so easy why does everyone not become one? I also think other professions deserve it too, such as nurses or carers.

    I agree.

    I'm a student teacher and I've seen how hard the job can be, including the extra work you do outwith school hours at home.

    I can understand however, why people are a bit angry at such a large payrise, 10% is a very big amount at such a difficult time. They should get roughly 3%

    Topov's someone else. He hides behind 'Topov' when he wants to insult and wind everyone else up!

    About time the mods dealt with him IMO.
