    Howard, I didn't think I needed to comment on contracted. I would of thought it was fairly obvious that contracted hours of contact are equal to the amount of time children are in the school. I don't know of anyone that delivers lessons to empty classrooms. However I don't know of anyone that gets their job done in anywhere near this time.

    I'm not going to go on about what a hard life teachers get, it would be a bit boring. I personally think teachers have a great job; nice work if you can get it, but almost half of qualified teachers leave in the first five years. We don't have enough vibrant, enthusiastic teachers, we need more.

    I bumped into an old teacher of mine on Saturday, she commented on how she just made it to retirement with the last of her energy. She was laughing about the prospect of 67 year olds in the classroom. The teacher ballot was as much about conditions that effect education as it was about pensions, not that anybody has reported that.
