Write your comments here...well there you go. Is this the new education policy. . No need for pupils ever to attend school at all. A few texts every day obviously does the same job as teachers in the school room.

Teachers will like that --- they will be able to extend their annual holidays from 13 weeks to 52.

teachers do not get holidays, I've explained this before, they are only paid to attend work for 195 days a year. Unlike most other jobs there is no mention of paid holidays at all in our (state funded) contracts

Corners...Ignore the latest goading post from one of the usual suspects

Exactly Corners, my husband is a Teaching Assistant in a Special needs school. He is paid for the hours he works, which is then annualised, so he gets zero paid holidays. I think the general public would rather believe that Teachers and TAs get 13 weeks off on full pay, believe me it isn't so.

Many years ago a friend and neighbour worked in the local high school kitchens , they used to get payed half their pay in school holudays but had to go in a week before the end of school hols to spring clean the kitchens, the policy may have changed now ,

Going by the posts above we all must have assumed teachers were payed for the summer hols, was this ever the case ? We're teachers payed at some time ? Personally until last reading pist on here I have never heard any different 

The pay is only for 195 days, but this is then divided into 12 and paid monthy. This has been the case for as long as I can remember.

They are paid its just a differant way of doing maths, 2+2=5

Not all the general public, SM, just some with very little knowledge of what actually goes on in schools!
