I ask because I was mildly surprised having looked it up.
Where are you getting your numbers for teacher pay from?
NASUWT Teachers pay scale (Not including London)
Yes you can earn more if you become a Specialist or G.P.
Consultants do very well and a G.P gets around the same as a head teacher.

Also Doctors have to make life and death decisions under great stress.
Teachers have to stop little Jimmy from eating glue and make sure he knows his times table up to 10 x 10.
Now if you were to say Nurses pay then I would agree totally with you.
That needs to increased.

I think you may be confusing a nursery school assistant with a teacher...or education has changed from my day.
Primary school is a slightly different kettle of fish, but I'm looking at the secondary school/college figures ..They are from 2014 though, so if they've gone up a bit since then, super!
However would I rather make a life and death call on someone than teach a room of 35+ uninterested borderline feral inner city teenagers who don't want to be there?? I know which would be way way more stressful for me. At least when you're at school you can get away with punching another student for being a dick, teachers are impossible saints.
