You also contest that the battle of Vulkovar happened. Because you weren't born at the time. Time is to you reel back to how much great you are for making a simple expression compiler.

Sorry, 'the government shouldn't comply to the requests of the public sector'?  The public sector is employed by the government - who else is there to comply? 

Well, a democratic government should comply to the will of the people. Complying to the will of the big business or, even worse, to a will of the public unions, is corruption.

What the teachers are asking for is a 6.11% increase, to bring them into parity with the rest of the public sector, and 6.11% isn't going to wreck the Croatian economy.

6.11% is a compromise proposed by Andrej Plenković, the prime minister of Croatia. The leader of the protesters, Branimir Mihalinec, asks for 11% increase.

Teacher B lets the students read comic books while he naps at his desk.

If somebody is unwilling to work, he should probably be fired.

They should both be paid the same?

My point is that it's, in many cases, hard to figure out how well a teacher works. If a teacher has a student who does well on competitions, that doesn't actually mean the teacher is a good teacher. And pretending that it does has bad consequences. When I was in high-school, a few teachers were sending me to competitions without giving me any special instructions for that competition. You are simply stuck between a rock and a hard place in that situation: if you refuse to go onto that competition, the teacher may refuse to give you good marks. If you go onto that competition, and you don't spend nights studying for those competitions, you will embarrass yourself there. And, if you do study nights for that competition and you succeed at it, your teacher, who didn't help you much, will get a pay raise.

Not according to the article I linked.  Did you read it?

Over 20,000 teachers from throughout Croatia gathered in Zagreb's main square Trg Bana Jelačića at noon on Monday to demand a 6.11% increase of job complexity indices, carrying banners saying "All we want for Xmas is 6.11", "This is not a strike, this is a reform" and "Striking for life."

The 6.11% is what the union asked for.  The government offered 2%.

I don't know now, I am taking most of my information about those kinds of stuff from TPortal. Guess if they don't agree on the details, they are mostly making stuff up.

I suppose you have the right to have an opinion and you should vote if you're able. Find information from varied sources, make your choices as a citizen.

If I was in Zagreb I’d be protesting too.
