1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: More ageism I've got for you this morning. This time 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: in education, unions are quote concerned as more teachers work 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: past retirement age. This is, in part is the trouble 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: with unions. Of course, One they aren't that keen on 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: work in the first place, and two they're bogged down 6 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: in old fashioned rules and views of the world. What 7 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: is retirement and how do you know you passed it? 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: They refer of course to Super and this tired old 9 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: business of thinking that when Super kex and you must 10 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: check out. Obviously the world has changed, is changing, just 11 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: not that quickly in union Land. Clearly at sixty four 12 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: you're loving teaching, apparently, so somehow chronologically at sixty five 13 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: that desire and love of pursuit needs to be shelld 14 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: as you wander off collecting your retirement income and presumably 15 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: filling your days with bowls and walks. Eight thousand a 16 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: teaching at the age of sixty five or over eight thousand, 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: Now that's double what it used to be ten years ago, 18 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: But then a lot's different to what it used to 19 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: be ten years ago. Beyond the numbers, as in sixty five, 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: does anyone ask any questions like are they doing it? 21 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: Because they have to as opposed to want to bit 22 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: of a different style would have thought most importantly for teaching, 23 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: given the unions insist on this mad cap business of 24 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: time in the classroom being the measure for income. Are 25 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: these oldies any good? Could they be better given their 26 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: experience and institutional knowledge than say the twenty one year 27 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: old just into the classroom and looking for all the 28 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: world out of a depth sex education form six Limwood 29 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: High early eighties. We were sixteen or seventeen year olds. 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: The teacher might might have been twenty. She looked like 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: she wanted to die as the diagrams of the you 32 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: know whatats came out the memory as you can tell 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: see it in my mind forty years later. New isn't 34 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: always best, Young doesn't always trumpolder, and passion and skill 35 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: above all else is what should drive presents in the 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: workplace or classroom? Are you good? Do you like what 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: you do? Are you making a difference of the answers? Yes? 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: Then at what point would you be remotely interested in age? 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: Far less be concerned for more from the mic Asking 40 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Breakfast listen live to news talks it'd be from six 41 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: am weekdays, or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio,
