I do not have the resources to proceed at this time but I will continue my discussions with the teachers union in question to see how I can help them. I have been in my classrooms since taking up this post and I also have my own memories of classrooms. The classroom is a hot house, a place of great stress. The teacher needs enormous skill, patience and concentration to get through the day and the school year. I share the Deputy's respect for the work teachers do in the classroom. It is a very difficult job, much more so than most people understand. I have been talking to the union in question and I have asked them to consider, for example, what contribution the union might make to support their own members were such a scheme to be introduced. Given that I have laid out six aims in the introduction and that the first aim is to help the disadvantaged pupil, I have asked them to consider whether it would be legitimate for me to use funding for purposes other than that at the start. These are issues I am teasing out with the union in question.
