Teachers these days dunno how to teach one lar. anyway they
become teachers not because they like it, but because of the pay
and perks. you know why there are a lot of vacancies when MOE is
recruiting? reason being alot of teachers left the service when
their contracts are up. it is obvious why MOE increase the pay of
teachers. teachers are overworked these days, they have to come
back during the holidays to work and teach, when they are supposed
to take a break from work and recover and well rested when school
resumes.
The presumption is I pay you more, so you should work more.
Although this is not the trend, it is the result of increase pay.
Higher pay means reduced manpower, which in turn means greater
workload for the skeleton staff.
