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

I link to a survey in this post - https://peakd.com/teaching/@revisesociology/spare-a-thought-for-the-poor-teachers

That shows teacher life satisfaction is so much lower than the average in the UK.

I think honestly we just need to employ MORE teachers and have smaller class sizes. I don't think the pay is so bad for a 50 hour week IF you can actually get most of your 13 weeks holiday as actually holiday.

    Thanks for the survey, will check it later today!

    I guess you're right, lowering the workload is an important one. But at least here in NL the pay, especially for the abstract courses, is way below what it should be in my opinion.

    A combination of both would be great :)
