    Well we all know teachers don't do anything for free.

    But having said that, I'd be willing to pay for it.

    Why would they?

    Last time my employer asked me to take on extra responsibilities I said “sure what’s the extra pay.”

    I don’t work for free and I wouldn’t expect anyone else to either.

    I already said I'd be willing to pay for such a service.

    But I can see teachers' attitudes haven't changed much! It's always all about the money.

    It has nothing to do with pay. Teachers volunteer time to train and take teams to competition. Teachers are not childminders. They are educators and it is time people realised they are not a child minding service.

    Don’t waste your time
    The mask has slipped

    I don’t think there is another forum for a profession on boards where the amount of misinformation, attacks on the profession and just downright trolling is allowed go time after time

    Another thinly veiled teacher bashing thread

    This thread could have ended after the first post with a reply along the lines of
    They are your children . Your are their parent. Take some responsibility and stop looking to pass it on to others
    School is not a 24 hour service and not a substitute for your responsibilities

    Tell that to the aptly named Salary Negotiator, whose first response to being asked to take on extra responsiblity was "sure, what's the extra pay?". :D :rolleyes:

    Salary negotiation occurs in all jobs. Child minding isn't part of teachers jobs. Have you considered flexi time in order to drop you children at an appropriate time? Sure you could just ask you bossðŸ˜

    Yeah, working extra free hours on top of extra free hours. Sounds about right.

    It's not really that you're willing to pay, it's your expectation that because you're willing to pay then the teachers should automatically do it.

    That and your snide comments about money making it sound like they are somehow in the wrong for not doing it for free.

    I'm not a teacher by the way.

    People take on extra responsibility and spend extra time in jobs all the time without reward, asking what's the extra pay is a strange thing to do. I would imagine if there were some enterprising teachers looking for extra cash there is definitely money to be made running an hour long ""creche"" service for a fee.
