The fate of boys “is a defining issue of our time”, according to the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, as she calls for more men to become teachers to combat “toxic” behaviours.
since 2010 the number of teachers in our schools has increased by 28,000 – but just 533 of those are men
Do you think this is an issue? Decades ago, boys would have been taught by male teachers, so today’s female teachers are a change from the past.
Same story here.
Teachers want to teach but what they’re asked to achieve is impossible without working 60-70 hour weeks.
And when people talk about all the holiday they receive: all the teachers I know use that time to crash, become ill, recover, and then they’re back to work.
Steady on. I don’t think even teachers will say they do 10 hour days, 7 days a week.
