Teachers and workloads



We had four train to teach graduates start with us in September.

Three have quit before the end of the year due to workload.

The other is going to finish but says she doesn’t want to teach.
 
It was a self selecting sample, that could have skewed the result.

I also have no idea what proportion of people in other industries would have the same response if asked that question. That may not be out of the ordinary.
 
When I hear/read news like this I find it incredibly worrying. Teachers leaving (presumably that includes very good teachers), Climate Change and Brexit. Now I know that depending on the newspapers some people read they’re instructed that those things either don’t exist or don’t matter, but with somebody who has young children I find it desperately depressing that their futures have been f***ed up by our generation of politicians (and by extension those that voted them in - i.e. us).
