Teacher shares stark reality of struggling families and covering costs as staff head out on further strike day
A teacher has shared the stark reality of having to subsidise school budgets as she explains why staff are heading out for a further strike day.
"I buy felt tips, pens, poster paper, marking equipment, whiteboard pens, you name it," said the teacher, who did not want to be named. She told the M.E.N. each department has a budget, with her department, PE, 'definitely down in the pecking order'. "We have kids who are struggling financially in our school and aren’t always fed in the morning," she said. "I buy them food out of my own money.
The teacher feels like many people in the profession would accept the government's offer if it was fully funded and not coming out of school budgets.
