Salary.sg Forums - Career as Teacher

show them already also nothing much the subordinate can do...

in a system where the hierarchy is rigid and fixed, and in a top-down approach, even official protests or complaints wont go anywhere.

i guess the most practical solution is just to try out another RO.

with the rotations of heads at regular intervals coming soon, will the situation of RO being able to help more GEO 3/4 better?

I'm aware that it is explicitly stated to be a myth. There is, unfortunately, sometimes a gap between policy and practice.

When informed by SL that a default C is being applied to you, you can either suck it up, or attempt to escalate it. Perhaps I chose the coward's path just accepting that outcome - but has anyone ever really successfully appealed this?

Hi, I saw the window to apply for trained teachers is currently open now. But when I click in to for primary school, I notice that there's only El + Ma or El + Sc. I was Ma + Sc when I left, and even before that never taught El for more than 5 years already. Is there really no way?

And people do promote every 2-3 years.

People seem to have forgotten that these grades, or the newer GEO1,2,3,4,5,5A, are ultimately still timescale grades for rank and file.

Chiong to the max grade, and slowly farm the annual increment.

This is also why the salary range is so broad for geo5.
For people to hentak kaki and farm their annual $100-200 increments until they hit retirement.

Haiyo. I am 44 already hit geo 5 ceiling. Dunno want to go where. Stay at ceiling like my colleague who told me she ceiling for 11 years already? Beg RO for plan to hit 5A or STship? I dont know mannn. Potentially I got 20 yrs more.

Most people end up just grudgingly accepting the grade.

I'm guessing that there's a higher possibility to appeal from D to C- or C- to C? Since such situations seem more dire...

C to C+ or from C+ to B seems quite impossible?

Just my personal opinion though...those who witnessed these experiences, please share :)

Honestly, in today's (teacher) economy… reaching the salary ceiling early is a happy 'problem' to have!

Now the junior officers know which age group to push extra tasks to, in order to justify your grade and salary.

Because even with the overwhelming load they are shouldering, they will never be able to experience the same thing at 44, unless they are high flying scholars.

If unhappy about being at ceiling and feel that can do more, can always indicate interest at KP position to go up SEO scale

There are also many happy being HOT, and focus more on family and other things outside of work
