In every industry I have been in, you only get performance pay if you improve your performance.
When analysing the situation, and boys and girls marks are added together, then teachers have not improved the performance of students in 30 years. You can try and find the statistics to show that they have.
So why should teachers be awarded a pay increase for not improving the performance of students?
Liz,
You have said that men have created problems in the education system.
That is: -
“Don't blame us for an education system designed and underfunded by men”.
As a teacher, this was a very sexist, very feminist, and totally non-professional thing to say, but you have had the opportunity of saying how women would design and fund the education system, and to date you have not given that information.
You have maligned the men currently in the education system. That is a fact, and I’m finding it quite typical that teachers malign males. But you have not said how women would design and fund the education system.
