My history teacher from Nathy's died at 56 last week from Motor Neurone Disease, Father Andrew Finan. He was the only teacher I had all five years.

We drove him absolutely mental and he couldn't control a class for love or money but he has a wealth of knowledge and passion. He'd talk openly about almost any topic with students, from his appreciation of the Simpsons, to his love of Jeff Sterling and the Sky Sports News match-day show to the sillier aspects of Catholicism. He was intelligent in an earthy, unpretentious way that very few people I have met are. He always seemed like he was happiest when he was sharing his passions with others.

He was one of the only teachers who was more concerned about teaching than he was about getting students over the Leaving Cert and, honestly, when all the other memories of classes and fretting over points long since have faded I'll always remember the passion he had, it was special.

I think the penny is dropping finally that this is real teaching. A good teacher can get a good pupil the top grade at A Level/Leaving Cert. An exceptional teacher can do that and make the experience enjoyable.

Secondary School Teachers get 12 paid weeks off in the Summer, approx 2 weeks at Xmas and say another 1 week at Easter. Lets not add in all the other random days they get off.

So that Is 15 weeks off (probably being very generous to teachers). Now lets minus the 3 weeks a new starter would have as annual leave in most other jobs (ie 12 weeks extra). Going on the pre-Jan 2011 payscales, a new stater in Dec 2010/Sept 2010 would now be on €33,041 (Ignoring all the other payments they can get).

So they get €33,041 for 37 weeks actually worked. Lets average that out to 49 weeks work that everyone else does (early part of career). So that means that if they had to work 49 weeks like everyone else on their rate of pay they would in fact be 3 years into their job on €43,757 a year.

If my maths are correct (and there is a good chance I have made an error) then someone 25 years into their career would be on €59,359 or €78,610 if the were to actually work a 49 week year.

Dont know why we give it so bad to teachers, alot on here am sure had a chance to become teachers, i could off, but it wasnt for me, and decided on a building bckground finally ending up as a building surveyor.I knew the holidays, it was what my parents wanted me to do but wasnt my thing. Yes i look on on the good holidays especially in the summer with abit of envy but dont really give out about cause i could went down that path if i had wished.

Seriously overpaid for the hours they actually work.
