Football is rather different to the sorts of jobs we were talking about.Would you give Viktor a goal bonus in his contract or suggest that as a striker he doesn't need one because his job is to score goals?
No , that's because he passed to Jamie Allen 3 times in a half and he failed to hit the targetFootball is rather different to the sorts of jobs we were talking about.
Also is this why Viktor never passes the ball?
Jeez.
Is there anything else you’d like to do?
You didnt. Science evolves, but your fundamentals remain constant. Computing is continual learning to remain current. I nearly went down that route as a school leaver and so glad that I didnt.I could retrain in computing I suppose, but it’s not my passion. Picked the wrong subject it seems

Ultimately it’s about the stress and work life balance as much as the cash. You don’t have to do Computing. There’s people working in all sorts earning a decent wage. Sales and marketing for example, project management.
I tend to agree with this - it motivates those who aren't bothered about doing the job well, just getting the pay and will just do those things that are necessary to do that, including treating other co-workers badly. This is turn demotivates those that are actually doing a better overall job because they're picking up the slack for nothing. So then you just have people working towards those metrics that get them rewards, such as exam results, rather than doing the job well.Performance related pay is a disaster. It's time consuming to administer; creates a divisive team culture; demotivates the majority of employees and is often used to reward people who don't deserve it. Anyone who is good and would get the additional pay is obviously motivated anyway so it's a waste of money.
Under performance should be dealt with through capability or disciplinary procedures. Just not paying such people as much leads yo further under performance.
8.45 to 3.15 less an hour's lunch and 2 x 15 min breaks is only 5 hours. As there aren't 11 or 12 days in a week that's impossible. Good job you aren't a maths teacherTeaching is a decent wage. I just have to work 55-60 hours a week to collect it!
Personally no, because it incentivizes him to be greedy and shoot when it may be better to pass.Would you give Viktor a goal bonus in his contract or suggest that as a striker he doesn't need one because his job is to score goals?

I was of course doing my usual best to bait you, but in seriousness if that is the extent of it, then 7am to 6pm (assuming you have a lunch break) is 10 hours per day, 50 per week. If you average an extra 10 weeks holiday to private sector employees (16 v 6 is that fair?) then it's only 80% of that and a 40 hour week which I would think most people do.I arrive at 7 and leave at 6 each day. Mark in the morning, prepare lessons in the evening. Write reports and enter data at other points, occasional parents evenings too.
The holiday really is getting back that unpaid overtime.
These suggestion are realistically moot when you don’t even support the notion of teachers having a salary that is in line with the cost of living.Probably not quite as important either. I’ve got views around salaries etc but don’t know enough about set up in public sector pay levels etc so some of these might already happen…
Increased rewards for higher performance (what’s the pay differential between a great teacher and a shit one excl heads of department etc ?)
Higher salaries for subjects where there’s shortages
Much higher salaries to attract best teachers into poor performing/less attractive schools
Offer nurses (and potentially other public sector) a chance to flex emp’er pension contributions by 5% or so for period of time to increase basic in short term
More bursaries for areas where there’s shortages

On that basis your being paid for a standard working week, so whether it's fair depends on where you see that in terms of status or opportunity and your work life balance. Should the average teacher be more or less than a constable in the police or eg a grade 4 nurse? (guessing btw not sure of the direct comparison).
*genuine question too, not fishing for giggles as I really don't know.
Edit: - I also nearly became a copper
The life expectancy in here and in France is roughly the same.
You seem to have fallen hook, line and sinker for government spin. Nobody is against modernisation of the railways, certainly not the unions who have been supportive of the modernisation that has taken place in recent yearsTheres not doubt the government wouldn’t want to be seen backing down straight away but as the article says the unwillingness to modernise was also another main issue.
My first job was working in a college in the late 90s. At that point it became mandatory for every student, no matter what they were studying, to do a computing module. The college I worked at had courses like hairdressing and health & beauty stuff and they all still had to pass computing modules to pass their courses. Unbelievable that we're now in a position where kids in schools are skipping computing because there's nobody to teach themThe teaching challenges don’t get publicity but for example my daughter is no longer taught Computing because they simply can’t find any staff. Even asked if I’d be willing to work one day a week for them.
to be fair when salaries are talked about on here loads of people talk about being on 6 figures and how anyone who isn't getting that is in the wrong job or lazy"COST OF LIVING FOR TEACHERS"
"I CANT LEAVE BECAUSE NOT MUCH ELSE PAYS £50k"
Am I reading this right?

I think there's plenty of people happy to discuss it. The problem at the moment seems to be a complete lack of discussionWe live a lot longer as well. Theres a massive pension/aging population timebomb that nobody wants to discuss. It’s also a massive problem with public sector pensions

Think it's more living within means most of the time and expectations.
ie. Don't buy a house that will absolutely skint you every month, don't buy cars for silly monthly payments, don't rush to get the latest iPhone if you don't really need it. (That's not saying that all struggling people do this, I also know people who are absolutely skint every month and tell everybody. They also live in houses in the nicer areas with huge mortgages and drive cars on finance which will probably take a fair bit of their income every month).
Whether that's education of finance, wanting to keep up with the Joneses etc I don't know. I've always preferred to be comfortable and maybe not live in the posher areas or drive brand new top-of-the-range cars but be able to heat / feed and socialise / not struggle every month etc.

Hardly culture war to point out that sometimes people need to live within their means and be realistic.With respect you’re parroting a load of culture war bollocks without the slightest clue of what you are talking about.
Hence going on strike.Yeah they are cunts but if you want to change your own situation then it's best not to rely on them.
This is the Lee Anderson school of thinking.Hardly culture war to point out that sometimes people need to live within their means and be realistic.
That's coming from somebody with about 5 GCSEs and from a dodgy estate.
People just want to blame the government sometimes though don't they? Yeah they are cunts but if you want to change your own situation then it's best not to rely on them in general.
Your comment is virtually verbatim of the nonsense argument spouted by clowns like 30p Lee.Hardly culture war to point out that sometimes people need to live within their means and be realistic.
