Where does emy1501 say that teachers are special?

The comment "special" seems to only come from non-teachers.

!!!!!! don't people bother reading posts?. In post 33 Emy asked a specific question which I answered . In my reply to him/her in post 34 I asked a specific question which they still haven't bothered to answer....I never said they posted they were special teachers just think they are, they won't admit it.

Need me to copy paste it?

I would ask you a straight forward question: Can you in all honesty,hand on heart not feel uneasy with the fact that the Public (many of whom earn 50% of a teachers wage)are paying massively into the Public sector pension schemes when at the same time not being able to provide for their own retirement provision?..

Does it not make you feel the slightest bit uneasy?

Just to add we can't all be teachers otherwise who would be left to pay for our pensions?

There you are question above ..........

It is still you that is deciding that teachers think themselves "special".

Not one teacher on this thread has said so nor do they think so.

Teachers believe they are "entitled" to a pension that most in Society could never have whilst at the same time expecting those same people in Society to part fund the teachers pensions.

Therefore is it not unreasonable to assume that teachers feel they are a "special" case?.

Nope - fed up with people who have actually no idea what teaching entails continually criticising teachers.

Same old hogwash about funding teachers' pensions. Everybody in society part funds everybody else's pension, whether it's private or state (including pension credit).

Therefore is it not unfair to assume that teachers feel they are a "special" case?.

Yes it is unfair.

Having only done it for one year my first impressions are still quite fresh, what I found surprising was:

1. The number of modules I had to deliver, I'm sure back in my student days lecturers specialised in only one (or possibly two modules), I deliver 4 and also do tutorials on another 3.

2. The class sizes definitely have grown, back in my days the average student class (apart from cross discipline subjects in the lecture theatre) was about 25-35. My class sizes vary from 63 to 115. That was quite intimidating for the first few lectures. Also it is a lot more work managing them and marking of course.

3. The amount of bureaucracy is far more than I imagined, the number of meetings etc. to attend which all adds to the workload.

4. The amount of time it takes to prepare for a lecture is quite long, I can’t say longer than I first thought because before I started I just had no idea of how long it would take.

I thought i answered your question. My wife does a job that most were not interested in in the boom years due the rewards based on qualifications needed. My wifes pay package including pension is not excessive. I know few professionals in the private sector who earn less than her.

She being expected to take a bigger pay cut in real terms than the average person in the private sector over the next few years and I also doubt that i am the only person in the private sector who is part of a final salary scheme.
