I’m a primary school teacher in London. Overworked, underpaid, chronically stressed.
I adore the teaching part of my job. It’s the everything else. The lack of resources, the meaningless and time consuming data, the reading/writing/maths >>> everything and anything else curriculum. The insane working hours. The not being able to afford to live near where I work due to gentrification.
And now, post pandemic, the “catching up”.
I’d like to hear how other teachers around the world, who are socialists, experience their jobs.
