You’d think at a time when economics was driving massive school closures would be a bad time to campaign for an increase in educational costs.
But the ABC, via Yahoo, brings news of today’s stop work meeting by the teachers.
The Government is on the nose over education so they hope any protest will garner support, effectively jumping on the anti-school closure bandwagon.
A more serious issue is that the massive consolidation of schools is going to clog the career paths of younger teacher for the next 20 years. As discussed here previously, the problem isn’t the base pay rate, it’s the lack of reward for performance. That is going to get worse either which way.
