Money matters in schools.
Teachers
On average, an English primary teacher's starting salary is around £19,600, compared with an average across OECD countries of around £18,700. After ten years this reaches around £28,700, much higher than the OECD average of almost £23,000 [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10141060/UK-primary-teachers-among-youngest-in-the-world.html]. Money matters for teachers because, they need money from the head master/mistress. If teachers don't get paid how will they feed themselves/ their family if they have children. I'm not too sure on where the headmaster/mistresses get their salary from, but if you know then leave a comment.
Equipment
You must know that children go through a lot of equipment through the year because in my class our 200 pencils has gone down to about 20 pencils so schools also need money for that aswell. Equipment also costs a lot of money so say each ruler is £1 then you would have to multiply that by 250 which comes to £250. Then do the pencils then rubber then sharpeners. It would be a lot of money.
Books
Books in schools must cost a lot of money [Books as in the books you write in]. Also, reading books must cost alot of money aswell because for good quality books like for example Roald Dahl books they will cost about £15 - £17. Also it depends on the students handwriting for instince children might go through a whole book in a quarterof a year, that means the school will have to pay for double the amount of books.

Why is the fact that a child will go through 1 book in a quarter of a year because of their handwriting? I think it would be because of the quantity of work they go through.
That is another point but it's just an example because say if you have really big handwriting then you would chomp through the book easily.
+placid_meerkat - Good point. I thought you were meaning by how legible their handwriting was! Silly me. Thanks for telling me what you meant.

The average salary for full-time qualified teachers working in state schools in England was £37,600. School leaders on salaries in excess of £100,000 are earning around double the average salary of a head teacher in state schools, of £55,700 in 2012 (£55,500 in 2011) :)
Yes, okay. What is wrong with that?
Thank you!
