No, we're not smiling. Teachers at Cabramatta West PS are tired and fed up! Uncompetitive pay and unsustainable workloads mean our kids are missing out! We need #MoreThanThanks @TeachersFed

🧸 Tomorrow 9am I'll be on Play School! This whole week, @SernaLily & I will be part of their fun series Marvellous Maths. Did I mention @ABCTV have also made a brilliant set of educators' notes? https://t.co/9AvxHlABzg P.S. The 🚀 clock is 100% awesome 👌

The government has denied for years the size of the staffing crisis in NSW schools. Big problems require big solutions but the only action the government & department are willing to take is legal action. #MoreThanThanks

Please sign the petition calling for the fair funding of public education as was the original #GONSKI architecture. The LNP government deliberately dismantled it & our kids deserve better!

Hooray Ian Hickie! At last someone points out that all these religious schools are publicly funded! Why should any publicly funded organisation be permitted to discriminate against members of the public? @ABCthedrum

Priorities 🤷♂️Premier announces a new footy stadium in Penrith that will hold 30,000 people at a cost of $300mil at the same time there are 3,000 vacant teaching jobs in NSW. In Oct only 30% of schools in the Outer West & Blue Mtns had their full staff complement. #MoreThanThanks

“We made history today” @AGavrielatos said. We had to!! We can’t continue without proper release time, better conditions and pay that don’t help attract or retain teachers. This is a critical time & we need to address the issues before it is too late.

This is a wrong way to world-class education, Mrs Minister. Progressive public policy reforms require trusting teachers and treating them like professionals, not silencing or name-calling. https://t.co/dOQrAb21io

The NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell has accused the teachers’ union of being “hell-bent” on hanging students out to dry for political purposes.

To be fair to Minister Mitchell, it’s probably true today’s 24 hour NSW teacher’s strike was more disruptive than months of lockdowns…to her.

Not rain, not lack of trains or even being absurdly declared illegal…the teachers filled Macquarie St representing schools from all over Sydney & the state. Remarkable passion & solidarity #MoreThanThanks
The voice of our profession... will be heard. We are gathering, we will be heard on behalf of our students, communities and profession. @NSWSPC @nswppa @johnqgoh @aliceleung @TeachersFed #morethanthanks @mandyjwells @lukekains89 @MaralynParker @JaneCaro @maurie_mulheron @Maurs_5

Awesome show of unity today by @TeachersFed You deserve respect, not insults from the minister. Teacher working conditions are student learning conditions. You need additional release time, additional staffing & support, a salary reflective of workload & hours. #MoreThanThanks

A massive slap in the face so to speak from Bowen.. Scotts days are numbered #ScottyFromPhotoOps #ScottyThePathologicalLiar #ScottyDoesNothing #ScottyFromCoverups #Scottythefukwit #scottythedogwhistler #ScottyTheMalaka
Chris Bowen has demolished Morrison's filthy scapegoating of ICAC and taken a blowtorch to talk of Berijiklian running in Warringah 🔥🔥🔥 Punishing corruption vs rewarding it. That's the choice this election #auspol #icac #federalicac

In 1980 a first term teacher earned $17K and a backbencher MP earned $18K. Today a first term teacher earns $72K and a backbencher earns $169K. What happened that sees MPs now earn more than DOUBLE that of a teacher? @TeachersFed #MoreThanThanks @julia_zemiro #auspol

Very happy to keep the kids at home today, even after months of lockdown and remote learning. Full support for NSW teachers @TeachersFed Calling the union a protection racket is a shameful insult. #MoreThanThanks #istandwithteachers

Out comes Sarah Mitchell to launch a ‘blistering’ attack on teachers. Where was this passion when she was warned of the huge looming teacher shortage? When teachers said they are being swamped with overwork? When teachers’ pay fell further and further behind? #MoreThanThanks
