[@HPugwash]

the exchange rate is £1 to $1.90... your 43k "increase" is a couple thousand better but the cost of living is also slighty more expensive so in reality you arent making much mroe money. I don't like the tories either but you dont need to lie about your salary to strangers online

@@HPugwash I’m exchanging it into £ obviously the starting salary in NSW for a graduate teacher is $90k a year which is about £44k were as in the uk for inner London it’s around £33k so 10 grand is a pretty big difference in terms of starting wage.

And when will we legislate against teachers telling children that we're all descended from Martians? You know, just in case someone decides to teach that. Or maybe that dogs are really cats or trees can sing? How about instead we have a complete overhaul of schools in a nation educated to think it might be a good idea to put this shower into office in the first place?

As some one who's an adult who was born with ADHD you need to be careful what you say. I was misdiagnosed with autism before they realised I had ADHD . ADHD was a new thing when I was a teenager in the 90s. People with ADHD are real by the way I can assure you the stimulants wouldn't work with calming people with ADHD down if they didn't have hit. It would make them high and behave far worse. It's really hard to get a diagnosis for ADHD now a days and they don't give out stimulants like sweets like everyone thinks. May in the USA but not in the UK. Even for me near my 40s it's hard to get access to my stimulant prescriptions there are loads of hoops to go through. And dare I even move twenty minutes down the road to a different county I have to start all over again with the process getting a referral and then a specialist to prescribe them before going back to getting them off a GP under a shared cared agreement. When I don't have my medication my emotions are all I've the place , I can't focus and mine times out of ten I can have trouble with the law because I can't sit still enough to calm down. I'm sure lots of parents with ADHD kids would tell you the same things I am. We are not the USA we don't over prescribe meds infact we under prescrib them. Then don't get me on the fact woman and girls are much harder to get a real diagnosis and can be missed by the system. Please do your own research properly
