@classroom_finds: One of the biggest misconceptions about Teaching Assistants… 👀 Many TAs are on term-time-only contracts. Their pay reflects the weeks they are contracted to work, even where that annual amount is then divided into monthly payments. So when someone says: “Must be nice getting six weeks paid off!” ☀️🏖️ Every TA within a 10-mile radius feels their eye twitch. 😂 For the responsibility, skill, patience and difference they make to children every single day, TAs deserve far more recognition. ❤️👏 TAs — what’s the biggest misconception people have about your job? 👇 #TeachingAssistantLife #SupportStaffMatter #SchoolStaffLife #TeachingAssistant #EduTok

So few people realise we are only paid for the time we work. There’s no extra!

Same for SBMs. Plus if you want to go on holiday you pay top dollar.

People really do think a TA wage is sooo much more than it really is! 😳 That is why we work a breakfast club and lunch hour on top of a full TA day.....not! 😏

Exactly this, and teachers believe they’re paid exactly the same way too.

195 paid working days a year spread into 12 monthly payments, I would recommend anyone to NOT do it
