   I don't think 20k is really enough. It wouldn't attract me into teaching; you probably wouldn't even be able to buy your first house on that salary.

   just an excuse for more money for all teachers who are becoming increasingly driven by cash and not the love of the job nor the great benefits it provides - why not give 10% payrise to new teachers or teachers of <5yrs??
