Have you read any of Goves proposals for changes to teaching requirements for 'free' schools?
You can't equate your job with another and draw comparisons, do you assume teachers don't work from home?
Teachers pay into a pension throughout their career, you may not feel like it matters as it doesn't affect you or your family.. for those it does then I can appreciate it would be worth the battle.
