RE: Marking a Physics paper (aka: Pay your teachers more... aaka: the system is borked!)

Teachers and nurses are two professions overlooked when it comes down to fair remuneration. I totally agree when you teaching there are a lot of hidden hours of preparation of work expected never paid for.

And then they throw you the old "teachers have lots of holidays, so they shouldn't complain" argument on top of that too!

Teachers have so much preparation, after school activities to assist with added to a list of many hidden chores, no they definitely are underpaid for what is entailed.

Yep, both are professions that are incredibly undervalued. The lockdowns of the Coronavirus have also highlighted other professions that have been driven down to minimum wage that have more societal worth than other "high-value" jobs.

Thank you for the curation!
