I have just re-read the Headteacher rant again which Bee posted. If she wanted to set people against teachers she's done a really good job!
We work a longer week than any other profession I know (with the exception of, perhaps, doctors).
That doesn’t account for the hours I do at home after school or the hours of catching up I do at the weekend, in between trying to be a parent, doing the shopping, washing, and cleaning.
at the same time we are home schooling our own children, we are worried about our elderly parents who are shielding, worrying if we can pay the mortgage if our partner is furloughed or out of work, we are still shopping, for us and others, collecting prescriptions...trying to keep our head above water.
Does she mean like everyone else?
She is a well paid, well qualified professional. She has choices. There are some fabulous hardworking teachers out there. There are also some fabulous equally hardworking non teachers out there. Sorry, she has irtitated me!
