There is a dedicated teacher bashing tread here. I agree stay in lane. I havenāt heard all these points before
As someone once said, āIf the pandemic has taught me anything itās that a bit of egging on from online extremists and headbangers in general can shift previously normality people into raving lunatics.ā @backinatracksuit is the latest.

You must be planning on taking early retirement so.
You can reach the top of your scale in 25 years.
Congratulations, you got the reaction you wanted and gave a lovely boost to at least one poster who thrives on that kind of thing.
I hope that you wonāt be hypocritical now in commenting on things which donāt affect you directly.
Good luck
Would you mind re-reading that in relation to your comments on Treyvaud? When people start showing a bit of empathy towards how others are impacted by ongoing lockdown measures, then maybe others will stop calling them out.

Thatās not a lot of money, especially if youāre raising a family. Is your wife a high earner? Did you marry a GP or something.
Acting the bully then playing the victim is what he did.

Bullshit likebait,
Treyvaud acted the eejit and went looking for a reaction, heās gotten progressively more attention seekingly odd as itās gone on, heāll get his business back.
Empathy is a handy card to draw on admittedly, impossible to counter, I donāt see much empathy displayed here to people on the opposite side of the argument.
You clearly are giving out about the pay.

Sorry mate, I know it might appear to be the case but I donāt think it is. Thereās a bit of nuance.
I suppose I was responding to a message which stated that I (BIATS) am being very well paid by the government.
Iām a 46 year old man, I have been a permanent teacher for about 5 years, not exactly certain when I got the contract, if I had gone into teaching in my early 20s Iād probably be getting well paid by now, I donāt regret any decision I made, Iām quite happy with my wage, but I donāt consider 650 a week to be āvery well paidā for the job I do and my stage in life, but again Iād change nothing.
I suspect youāre earning a lot more than that, as I said I suspect 90% of posters here do, when this is all over I suspect Paul Treyvaud will go back to earning multiples of that every week,
I believe Iāve almost always shown empathy on this forum, I think thereās a few cheap shots being thrown by people with scores to settle, and Iām not sure why @ironmoth took such exception to that post in the context of what flies as acceptable comment about others
Sorry, in brief, Iām very happy with my wage, Iām not typical of teachers my age,
Weāve been over this many times before

Donāt ye have a health portal where you can log in and download your cert in pdf form? Or alternatively have a digital version on your mobile app? I thought Eastern Europe was fierce backward.
The portal is there, with all your vaccination record on it.
I really donāt understand how they canāt leverage that to provide a QR or other scannable code.

Have a think about that ā¦In 30 years it wonāt be 70k at last point of scale ā¦
I have great admiration for teachers and what they do ,I certainly wouldnāt do it ā¦Iāve no doubt @backinatracksuit is a very committed teacher but I donāt think heās right about the constant reference to poor pay
You will earn 70k when you turn 66 so unless you plan on taking early retirement. Thatās another lie you have spun.
Sure that fella has had pops off everyone on this forum. I wouldnāt let it get to you.

Ok to be honest I donāt understand why people are constantly misrepresenting what he has said. He hasnāt complained about pay or said it was poor pay, heās just said he isnāt well paid.
Youād want to be purposely thick not to see the obvious difference.
