Irish Teacher: Don't give teachers Covid bonuses, spend the money on support instead

The unions argue that teachers made "extraordinary efforts" over Covid. Well, we did. But other people did too

The state should keep its money for long term investments and proper supports for our most vulnerable. What better bonus could there be than that? Picture: iStock 

I wake up and, as is my bad habit, check Twitter. I’m met with an unusual level of teacher bashing – even by Irish standards.

"The majority of teachers did nothing." "Grab, grab, grab." So goes my Twitter feed.
