They're doing online classes so you can't claim they are refusing to work. After all, the rest of the country is being told to work from home if at all possible.

Most teachers are doing more work now than they were in the physical class. With added childcare, converting resources and adjusting to online teaching etc.

Teachers would love to be back in school when it is safe to do so. I'd love to see the people complaining about teachers be in a room with up to 30 different kids every 40 minutes and say it's safe with levels the way they are now.

It's typical teacher bashing nonsense.

Of course they deserve to get paid, the teachers are smart enough to have a union, two even. I assume they weren't trained for what they are doing now, nor did any expect to do it. In a fair world, they'd get training and paid more, but it's not a fair world

Cannot blame them ,not wanting to go back to that environment,,for their own safety and that of the students,they are still working full time,,so yes they should be paid..

It's the leeches in government that should have their wages cut.

I get why they are saying it, but the teachers were left in the lurch, there is no kind of across the board plan nationally, because the government never thought about doing it. Teachers would definitely go back if it was safe enough.

I don't know which Irish times article you're referring to but I find questioning the teachers salary during lockdown level 5 rather bizarre as they're teaching online. I'm sure they're some foul nuts among them but I'd say the way to deal with them should be individually rather than tarring everyone with the same brush and threaten to put them all on pup.

On the flip side. Have teachers been given any additional grants to ensure that they have a safe and ergonomic office space at home? Working for months on end at a kitchen table, squinting at a laptop with no external monitors or proper lumbar support in your chair can lead to serious long term damage to your neck and back.

I hardly imagine the government supported teachers at all while they adjusted to working from home, but they just got on with it.

Why are people always so hung up on what teachers get paid? We have amongst the best educated work force in the world, give them a break.

They’re still working, therefore pay them.

Anyone arguing for them being on PUP: how about the government puts you on PUP while you do a modified version of your current job?

Yea, thought not

For a start, lots of teachers are working.

Secondly, there are lots of teachers who actually want to get back into the classroom.

As well as that, the week before the schools were due to open I heard some parents saying it was ridiculous to be talking about opening schools. Two weeks later the exact same people were complaining about teachers getting paid. Some people just aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

Teachers are working simple. The government have made a complete mess of this. They have not engaged correctly with teachers or teaching unions to see how best to proceed with teaching and a return to school plan.

If they want schools to reopen they need to as a matter of urgency look at their vaccines plan. Get teachers vaccinated get children back to school get the country reopen

Also as a parent would you want your child returning to school right now with cases still so high

Course it is. Its not easy but you have to make the best of the situation. id prefer that at least now my girls have some sort of structured learning compared to last year when they shut the schools and you couldnt even get a workbook online. Now they have their books and their timetable and we know what they have to do and they arent falling behind. I know Im probably in a better position than some with regards to getting their work done but most parents are doing the best they can with it

"why are we still paying teachers if the wont return to the classroom? do you agree? should teachers be made apply for the PUP payment like many others? "

Ah this sort of guff just gets my goat. There is more than teaching than standing in a classroom, or even delivering a zoom lesson. At my son's school there are teachers spending hours daily printing and photocopying work packs for children that have no access to the internet or printers. During a welfare call from my daughter's year head on Monday, he apologised for calling from a number I didn't recognise. He was using his wife's phone because he'd gone through 5000 minutes on his own in that month making weekly calls to pupils to check in on them, see if there's any problems, feeding back to teachers on individual pupils.

These are just two examples of what is going on behind the scenes. There are many more. Teachers are working.

Impossible until Covid numbers go down. Classrooms aren't big enough for class sizes to social distance. Question is why are more schools better than others for doing online. 2 schools near me and 1 school has classes calls 9 to 4 online and other just emails work. Both public schools

So much this. Schools have vastly differing budgets, resources, skillsets, support staff, technological capabilities, cohorts. And as a result, some schools will cope better and deliver remote learning more successfully than others. And whilst certainly there was time to plan for such an eventuality, plans are all very well but often putting them into practice throws up all sorts of hitches.

That teacher who's not delivering zoom lessons might live in the back of beyond with a useless internet service. That teacher who cancelled a zoom class right before it was due to start? Maybe their own child threw up or fell over or was having their own remote learning meltdown and needed their parent.

Ah here why not do a pre recorded class that many have done , maybe a sick child or maybe not , she is getting paid to teach , its a 30 min zoom class , not a whole day, no one knows the reason but if she were at school it would have to be done with or without a sick child

Well if she intended to do a live zoom class then she wouldn't have a recorded one prepared would she? Maybe whatever happened was so last minute that she didn't have time to set one up? And if she was in school teaching then it goes without saying her child wouldn't be there with her. If it's a one off then safe to say there was an unavoidable problem. If she was cancelling regularly then maybe at that point it might be more reasonable to question it

the bottom line here is all schools and all teachers ain't the same. should teachers putting in serious work for their students be applauded and getting full wage? absolutely. should teachers regularly cancelling and not doing enough be in the same boat? of course not. its probably every parent with children are having differing experiences.

You can take that point of view into every job in the world.

Is that painter painting as quick as the other fella? Is the quality of painting equal?

Are you paid based on your productivity and quality? Compared to someone at the same level in your field?

I think you're taking that chap's quote out of context.... The context being having to teach online during a pandemic with circumstances that are rapidly changing.

You can compare two painters at painting, because that is their chosen career.

It's unfair to compare two teachers at operating technology during a pandemic.

If that's what it's called down there. It's called furlough up here and anyone on it has no choice but to sit at home and accept 80% of their wages even when they want to work.

Teachers may not be in class all day every day but they are providing essential services while having to look after their own families needs at the same time so there shouldn't even be a debate.

Have you actually asked the teacher themselves? Or seen proof that it was cancelled? An email to the teacher will clear the matter up. As someone said teachers are human and allowed to have a personal life.......thats what I would have done

Simple is when you know what you are talking about..

We ran a home program for 6 years that involved, employing people, training people, investing in video equipment for recording and feedback purposes, taking out hefty loans to pay said people because the department of education delayed payment as a tool to upset and annoy parents so much as you wouldn't apply again.. so don't give me crap about no commenting.. you have no idea what you are talking about..

Simple is when you know what you are talking about..

My kids are so grown but I've got grandkids and I know many people who have kids of school age. Most of them are homeschooling and while a lot of them are struggling with the balancing act between that and working from home themselves I've yet to hear a single one of them make a negative comment about a teacher so maybe you should use different Facebook pages. and I have heard a few parents complain about teachers. twists and roundabouts. the Irish Times article is coming because the issue is been highlighted. I don't believe for one minute though that a teacher gives work on a Sunday night and the rest is upto the parent/s

Email with work list and occasional seesaw work asdigned but no teacher student interaction. "
is this at secondary level?

You always get the vocal minority complaining about feeling persecuted (ie criers).

Most parents will have been incredibly appreciative of their children’s teachers as they’ll have had their eyes opened to the complexities of teaching children and teens. "
its awkward id imagine to try teachers remotely. something teachers don't study for in college
