Take all the "heavy lifting" out of teaching?
Dude, it's a cush job with tens of thousands of dollars in benefits and you only actually work 9 months a year. Fuck off.
They are in inflation getting underpaid. Since Tories. Teaching is never terribly easy. I don't envy teachers.
But I disagree with computer generated marking.
We are individuals. Unless it is simple math problems and yes no answers. No, it should be based on the individualism pertaining to the criteria.
How does a rubber stamp validate this? Only the teacher knows their students and classroom.
I disagree with AI's motives and the attitude sweeping our public services today.
While I agree with the rest of your points, I still say teachers are vastly overpaid for the service actually provided. As I mentioned before, they get massive amounts of benefits (tens of thousands) and only work 9 months a year. So, they can tell people they make minimum wage until you remember the health insurance, tenure, pension and more that are provided by the school for free.
I just realized that maybe my (US) argument doesn't translate to the UK. I apologize if so.
Sometimes yes. But what is paid today. Some are certainly paid far more and have better options than in other roles.
However. There are many who aren't. Half of one, a dozen of the other. Like everybody else in inflation are also striking. Perhaps not as justified no, as nurses etc. But neither are billionaires capitalising off it. These have profited immensely in this current crisis.
Yes, that's a fair point. If it's anything like here, it's mostly the city teachers who are making money while the more rural ones get shafted.
a) what service? Where do teachers fit into "replacement migration" and "unsustainable birthrates"? What do teachers provide a child in this environment? What are students being educated for if self sustenance is already out of the curriculum?
b) SERV'ICE, noun [From Latin servitium.] - "labor of body and mind, performed at the command of a superior". What if consenting to superiority of others implies implies inferiority of self...wouldn't that be a prime breeding ground for "unsustainable birthrates and replacement migration"?
That's entirely my point. The "service" provided is insufficient at best, actively genocidal at worst.
a) consenting (individual-ist) towards suggested (individual-ism) tempts one to ignore self for others.
b) IN (being within) DIVID (divided as partial within whole)
c) the trick...suggested DUAL-ism; hidden within perceivable IN DIVID. Therefore...ones consent to the suggestion of another one represents DUAL (two) -ism.
d) to be (choice) implies within base (balance)...
We (plural) are individual (singular)? The added "s" implies suggested collectivism aka putting the singulars together under the suggested umbrella "we". A rhetorical deception...we contradicts individual ones IF individual ones consent to suggested we.
