Antiwork

They say there’s a shortage of teachers, yet they alienate those willing and able to work.

Found out why I'm not being called in for sub teaching work after I sent an email asking why I'm barely getting called in after the New Year. It's because some folk on their list are turning up each day, even if there's work or not, and getting stuff on the spot so monopolising all the cover work that is available. The school knows fine well they've got fully capable others on their books but giving them little to no opportunities. I live 50 minutes away from the school so getting there for 7.45 every morning isn't really possible, especially given my sleep medication. So tempted to call it out and quit by sending a frank email to the principal, it's my only source of income at the moment given that I'm unable to get Student Finance due to some bizarre Brexit rule. Tempted to drop my teaching career entirely…
