Trying speaking out about the real problem migration

teachers are like kids who believe they are entitled, they have a decent job & if they don’t like it they should get another job like the rest of us have to......

Sky News is fake news. I look forward to Tommy Robinson taking you lot to court. Liars that you are.

Lies

Get some work done and stop taking days off.Hope you are docked a days pay..

What cuts? Surely Sky should be pushing people to back up their claims? The budget has gone up, not down.

Yet another excuse for a day off. Lazy fcuks.

That's a £70 fine for all of them.

Perhaps these overpaid morons should take pay cuts, and put the savings into the school budget

But when we say 'schools' we of course mean state schools. Not private fee paying schools who have all the resources they need to educate the children of the rich, powerful and elite who go on to get 70% of top jobs.....who said class war was over

Cuts? Education funding has increased by nearly £30 billion in the last 3 years. What cuts is she talking about?

Get back to work you lazy bunch. It’s a school day.

Lol because everyone's off sick all the time even though get 20 weeks off a year. Make schools private

Money not answer ,stop left wing teachers putting beliefs before facts

Why aren’t they at school on a Friday?

Left wing head teachers shock horror

Thick as mince, the budget has increased yearly. Totally useless at their jobs. Our educational standard (state schools) has never been lower. Attracts those who just want to have half the year off. Useless.

Looks like you'll have to give up the Tranny story hour

Such pressure we take a day off during term time after enjoying a long summer holiday.👏👏👏

What a joke, another UKLabour scaremongering headline grabbing stunt. UK is 5th best funded school system in the world, with standards up every year under Conservatives and all while in period of austerity paying down £100bn deficit left by last Labour government

How much would be saved by getting rid of the oft-defunct position of HT?

Overpaid .bloody useless .do your jobs and teach

School I went to as a kid has to cope with 26 languages.More kids More Pressure Not difficult to see the real problem

How about marching during the school holidays

teajenny55 The government don’t want the mainstream pupils to be educated to a high standard. They just want basic education, enough to be able to put a cross in the box opposite the Tory candidates name. Vile Tories.

Whoops.

What a shame they did it in term time.....how many weeks holiday do they get? Inset days?

They can't be that understaffed if they can all get the day off.

I worked as a maths teacher in a British state school for 3 years. I was shocked by the amount of waste and the general incompetence of senior staff.

Mariebe10098426 Why are they marching on a school day, nothing to do at work?

More spent per pupil than Germany, France, Canada, Sweden and many more. This is just not true.

The pressure must be unbearable considering they've has all summer to stamp their feet and get on the telly. Their outrage must only be displayed in term time tho, in order to show how mad they are. Absolute arseholes. Get back to work and grow up

Work half the day, 10 weeks holiday a year and hundreds of head teachers paid more than the Prime Minister. 💩

Solidarity with head teachers marching on a Friday! ✊✊ Heaven forbid they protest in their own time on a weekend or during a school holiday! “The pressures on schools are far greater than they’ve ever been” so it’s important that 1000s of head teachers take a Friday off! bravo

There’s only a certain amount of money being paid into the pot so if we give the schools more somewhere else gets funding cuts. Where should it come from? NHS, police, defence Everyone can’t have everything unfortunately. I think our schools do a great job with what they have

Hmm... Our birth rate is falling and we don't have enough young people, but class sizes are growing, and we are the third highest spender per capita in the world, but the cost of teaching kids who don't use English as a first language is not a contributory factor. Yeah right.

One laughs on reading this - seeing the state of the paupers' schools & then seeing the £100millions being spent on all my residences. My expenses have gone up £millions too & there's nothing anyone can do. Labour4Republic RepublicStaff headteacherprotest

There have been no cuts, the problem is immigration.

Children are our future line, got to get that one out , so £102 billion isn't enough? What is?

I was a Governor at a school where the Head had a weekly meeting with a union to avoid "problems" - education is being held to ransom by left-wing NUTters.

Head teachers who are overpaid salesmen and administrators

There has been no cuts. This is just lefty teachers with a political agenda. The UK are also in the top 10 paid teachers in the world. Because they are failing children by their crap teaching, in typical fashion, it's always someone else's fault.

Head teachers should be in school. Try taking your child out of school for a day out to London....

Ah the trade unions are at it again.

This is why I cannot understand how the English vote Conservatives who don't want to spend the tax money because they all come from a class of people who have lived their entire lives protecting their own money and squeezing all the potential out of it at the expense of others

I don’t doubt some schools are badly managed but that doesn’t mean the children should be made to suffer! They won’t get this time back and it should be a priority for any government to make sure that our children receive the best education possible

The majority of educators are left leaning and increasingly politically active so their views should be viewed in this perspective.

Do not need to be a rocket scientist to know the reason why.

Just watched David Laws and Ryan Shorthouse basically talk down a headteacher and her day to day experience of running a school.The advisors see it as an interesting debate (ideology)The headteacher sees it in reality.This is symptomatic of the people paying for bankers greed

What do your expect form Conservatives they have little England in crises, Boot the bigots out.

Education crisis here and has been here for years ..Saw this on FBook yesterday "Dose anyone no any Plummers" .. examples like this easy to find. I know this person she left 6th form about 5 years ago .. How can a child leave school with this level of english ..?

What they mean is "Headteachers looking for any excuse to failing education standards"

I bet it’s a Labour run council! They have to make way for 300 refugees that have been dumped on them by the Gov’t! No more money though!

maybe schools should stop wasting so much money in the first place, ie free breakfasts, free school dinners.

The massive Increase in serious violent crime perpetrated by school age children with attacks on teachers requiring police riot squads being deployed into schools? The budget requires doubling on security and safety alone.

Don't schools have a caretaker any more? All these repairs are easy for a competent one...

Huge heads salaries, excellent teachers pay. Teaching assistants on very low pay but do much more work than the teachers. Sort this all out first before you have day off which the children aren’t allowed, just to push your socialist lefty agenda

It would be great to see the budget cuts from Downing Street.....wait a minute.

Headteacher at local school earns £160k a year. Could maybe start with looking at that first

Let's march after the 6 weeks of holiday they have just had.

this is why we need a socialist Labour government now and end the tory cuts , spend our taxes on the schools and stop our taxes going into the pockets of the tory MPs

Why bother it will achieve nothing. Also will they have to pay a fine for missing school

Could they not wait until the half term holidays?

Nobody respects teachers anymore. You've sold yourselves out with your wishy-washy lefty politics, striking and so on. The profession just isn't what it was and people look down on you.

Average salary for a headteacher is £100K plus.

Downing Street marched on by Headteachers over per child budget cuts, cuts will only get worse under Brexit plans, we need a PeoplesVote

They appear to be getting younger than I recall.

Why would head teachers march on downing street on a weekend there doing it in protest the same as rail workers or traffic controllers doing it at the busiest times to make an impact

Just give the schools some of that EU money we'll be saving next year. Easy.

IndyrefTWO In a nice orderly line presumably 😉

Couldn't you have done this on a snow day or when you are on your holidays ? Enjoy your long weekend on the piss in London 🍸🍹

My son's school has to fund raise all year to pay for new school equipment and new technology

Could be a good day to roll your skirt up or wear trainers.

lazy left wing teachers want more holidays

Shout out to Bill Marshall from Humphry Davy School in Penzance who has played a fair old part in this I think . Well played sir! It's important the government listen to these men and women.

Hope it’s not on a school day

The CEOs of academy trusts are so hard up, many still make it in to the top 40 paid people in the UK

The Tories are taking this piss out of you, people. This kind of crap is not normal.. if you think it is normal you've been brainwashed.. wake up!

It would be great to see the budget cuts from Downing Street.....wait a minute.

There's a reason we have private schools. They don't want the common person to have a high-quality education, just enough to get by. If they really cared, they'd scrap private schools

Each one has a £1m pension pot provided by taxpayers .... would they mind some of that cash being used for schools?

Why couldn’t they do it in the School holidays?

Why not protest on a Tuesday !! Or yeah on a Friday long weekend ...get straight in the boozer afterwards

Too busy putting the rest of the world to rights, while this Country is crumbling.

Get the kids to write some transgender love letters to the PM. That'll sort it.....

Are the marching to demand mass immigration comes to an end? That's the only way spending will ever be returned to reasonable level

Considering most schools are now Labour Party indoctrination centres, it’s hardly a suprise.

better not be whilst kids are at school...despicable lot.

Good luck to you all

£60 fine for each one of them for not turning up in school.

The rubbish kids are being taught these days is pathetic anyway,

Good on then well done guys xxx 💖

Headteachers blame funding cuts as fewer children say schools deal with bullying effectively‘The government’s cuts to school budgets are bad news for children who are being bullied’ Confusing correlation with causation. Just because bullying usually takes place within the school doesn't mean that bullies aren't made at home. How about more parental involvement? It starts at home.
