Just seen a TikTok where a parent was (well within their rights) complaining about the cost of a school trip to NYC but most bonkers thing is the comments - people are furious that costs would cover the teachers going. Well…yes - you know they can go to NYC without your child??!

‘Why am I paying for a teachers flight??’ Quite literally so there is someone to take your child.

@MrBoothY6 Parents think it’s a jolly. I couldn’t think of anything worse… it’s stressful enough going to the zoo for the day, never mind a foreign country!!

@MrAllington I went to Barcelona with Y6 twice. It was buzzing but would I have paid for the pleasure? Absolutely bloody not. Pay me if anything.

@MrBoothY6 100%! Teachers should get overtime or time in lieu. No other job would you be given so much responsibility and not get paid for it. Mad.

@MrAllington @MrBoothY6 Exactly, 24 hour call out for 5 days and no overtime pay or time back, what other worker would agree to this?

@SecondComputing @MrBoothY6 And then pay for your board and travel! 🙈🤣 Sure fire way to put an end to residential trips. 🤷🏼‍♂️
