“To make a real difference, the government should have pumped resources … to identify gifted and high-potential students outside the selective school system and extend them.” <- A great piece by @JordsBaker on the impacts of selective schools. smh.com.au/national/nsw/perr…

The NSW Minister for Finance just claimed that a $240,000 salary increase isn’t a pay rise for his executives - it’s a “recalibration”
This is the same man who just gave essential workers an effective pay cut.
If that doesn’t show you how out of touch they are, nothing will.
Teachers need #MoreThanThanks to stop this crisis from getting worse. Teacher shortages impact on students every day. @TeachersFed
Yet again, he just doesn't get it...kids suffering trauma, abuse, mental health, undiagnosed disability... not bc they don't want to behave... Treat the cause, not just the symptoms

Governments over the years have spent money on resources - when do they learn from past mistakes? Teachers need time to collaborate and plan. We need more teachers and they need less f2f teaching with more time each week for preparation and planning
We choose our teaching methods according to what our students need and where they need to go. We write our resources and lessons alongside those decisions. Fundamental to teaching is our work to make evidenced based pedagogical decisions. We need time. theconversation.com/this-is-…

“We will keep campaigning until election day next March if we have to. Too much is at stake for us not to continue, for our profession, for our students and for their future. Premier, #HearOurVoice… teachers deserve #MoreThanThanks.” @AGavrielatos

More than 20,000 teachers have sent a strong message to the premier about the need for real action on workload and salaries. Are you listening, @Dom_Perrottet? #MoreThanThanks #HearOurVoice

Teachers strike not just because their conditions are bad but because they care about their students who deserve better. Its a non stop job and teachers deserve better @theage @LiberalAus @AustralianLabor #MoreThanThanks @Greens

Standing up to a government that doesn’t get the total exhaustion of principals & teachers. The lack of casuals & planning time is pushing us over the edge. It’s time to act @Dom_Perrottet. We need the support. @nswppa #MoreThanThanks – at Sydney, New South Wales
Teachers deserve #morethanthanks
The message is clear - our students need teachers who are given the time, respect and remuneration to do their jobs! @TeachersFed

Poaching teachers from overseas or interstate is not the solution. The solution lies in addressing uncompetitive pay and unsustainable workloads. The government still isn’t listening, which is why teachers are going on strike. #MoreThanThanks

I was a public school teacher, my wife is a public school teacher, our children, products of public education. Last thing teachers want is to strike but have been forced into this action by a Gov unable to read the multiple challenges teachers face. It’s time for #MoreThanThanks
