A chara, - Does the offer of £12 an hour by the Department of Education and Science to teachers for supervision reflect the value we place on providing a safe and healthy environment for the children of the nation?
A rough calculation of all the deductions from the £12 would show the individual supervisor being left with about £7. This means that to supervise a 10minute morning break one would earn about £1.17. For this one takes responsibility for preventing bullying, accidents, smoking behind the shed, escaping to the shops, road accidents, littering the school yard, etc. The gain of £1.17 would allow one to buy a cup of tea but no buns. - Is mise,
