“We have a bad habit of treating teachers as something between a social worker and miracle worker. It’s profoundly wrong to expect that schools can fix the damage done by the rest of society’s problems.” @Ross_Greer #SGPconf

Reasons there is a Teachers strike: - Pay has declined 24% - Per pupil funding is below 2010 levels - Workloads are unmanageable. - We can't recruit/retain teachers or support staff. Not reasons for a Teachers strike: - "Militant" Trade Union leaders. See below

The offer to Scotland's teachers is not 6.85% - that's just @scotgov spin. The average value of the 'new' offer to teachers is 5.07%. Basically, it's a reheated version of the same 5% offer our members overwhelming rejected in a ballot 3 months ago. @BBCNewsnight

Good to see the fact that the 'new' pay offer is eerily similar to the old pay offer is starting to be reported in the media. Teachers deserve better! #PayAttention Teachers take to the streets for first national strike over pay in nearly 40 years heraldscotland.com/politics/…

This offer is nothing less than an abject insult to Scotland’s hard-working teaching professionals. After months of prevarication & weeks of empty promises, COSLA & SG come back with an offer than is worth that same 5% to the vast majority of teachers. eis.org.uk/latest-news/payof…

I voted yes, a decision I did not make lightly, and here’s why. After a decade of wage stagnation and real terms pay cuts, the recent pay rises were much needed but NOT fully funded. This means the increases eat into vital funds needed to ensure a good quality of education. 1/7

It’s so important that both NEU and NASUWT are both talking about ballots. Together the profession is united. As a past president of the NEU I really welcome the chance of us working together. NEU ❤️NASUWT #betterdealforteachers #teachersdesevebetter nitter.gq/nasuwt/status/15779423…
There is more and more anger among teachers about their pay. We need to see real-terms, above inflation pay restoration that will deliver a #betterdealforteachers If we don't see that we will ballot members for industrial action.
