Arista, your really beginning to annoy me, and I'm sure I can't be alone. How is it "New Labour's" Depression. I am not a follower of Labour, but the economic crisis is world wide, not limitted to Britain and it's "New Labour." Whether teachers deserve a pay rise is certainly up for debate, I believe they are a vital part of the community and obviously educational system, so I don't see why a pay rise is out of the question.
