£30k or £100k...working in a school is just a job. Want proof? If you leave tomorrow you'll be replaced very soon. You may have left a slight legacy, but it won't be worth the memories you've missed seeing your own children in the mornings or evenings, the breakfasts 1/2

By DM: Hi, simple question- what’s next after teaching? Sadly looking to leave the profession I love. Is there life after teaching? What have people done?

By DM: So 2 days ago I emailed a HOY and safeguarding lead about my own child saying they didn't want to live anymore. Neither have messaged me back or come to speak to me at work. I am beyond upset.

By DM: I’m really concerned about the number of people whose first advice to teachers who have an issue is - ‘refuse’, ‘call your union’, ‘go off sick’. What happened to just talking to SLT about the things that upset you? Why do so many people just want to criticise 1/2.

Teachers getting PTSD from aggressive leadership teams or poorly-run schools IS a thing and needs way more recognition and support than it currently gets. 😔

Teachers are massively undervalued by many and quite blatantly a lot of parents don't understand that you actually need years of graft and a degree to get there.

By DM: We must call our HT directly if we call in sick. It creates so much anxiety to the point where ppl go in even if poorly. I always feel so guilty and anxious when I call in sick because of being genuinely poorly! Anyone else’s school the same where you call the Head?

By DM: Anon please! My HT is keeping school open despite majority of teachers striking. SLT and TA’s are going to deliver ‘activities’. IMO, this undermines the point of the strikes and reaffirms parent/ society views that we are just a day care. It is making me consider 1/2

teachers actually answered the question. One teacher mentioned a boy with autism. The CEO then followed this boy around at lunch time pestering him and making comments at him, irritating him. He continued until the boy become so frustrated that he threw something at him. He 2/3

By DM: I'm a new leader in a school where some staff just aren't remembering kindness and empathy towards children. Some are still using techniques of yesteryear, publicly humiliating children for making mistakes. I'm working on this at an individual level but are there 1/2

If a senior leader at work tells you to manage your workload better but doesn't give you support or strategies to do so then they're not a senior leader.

Teaching is just a job. Discuss.
