Why is it dismissive? I'm not sure I understand that, the teachers are doing exactly that when talking about pay...I am doing the same.

We are not on as different pages as you think regarding this, I appreciate it's a hard job but so are so many others who are equally as qualified but not as protected by unions, excellent pensions etc.

The teachers are doing it and they are directly affected, you're not, that was my point.
They work in the public sector that's why annie, they work in difficult areas and under difficult conditions, in the private sector it's very different.
Where would we be without these people? Teachers, police and fire staff, even the armed forces... does anyone have an issue with them receiving a state pension?... No.
