The culture driving teachers like me from the profession

It is always worth pointing out that as people and their interests develop at different rates, we need an education system that accommodates dwell time and personal exploration, in order to give people the opportunity to find and develop their passions.

I’ve been reading this claim for years and have to call BS. Does anyone have any solid evidence that this is true? Yeah nah didn’t think so.

Meanwhile,older teachers at other end of career are also leaving-myself included-because of loss of autonomy,pressure 2collect useless data,a curriculum that has NO connection 2 realworld whose climate is changing & which needs resilient problem solvers not NAPLAN high scorers

auspol Problem bigger than that! R too many students per class, not enough support difficult students. Teachers constantly under attack. If have difficult students psychological problems told don't have 'classroom management skills'. Teaching about blame not support & assist.

NZBirder Because they realise that they are not educated enough to be teachers

Where can I find the statistics that indicate that up to half of Australian teachers will leave the profession within their first five years? This is regularly quoted but I’m concerned that it has acquired the status of an urban myth.

My daughter graduates this year with a $50.000 HECS bill, no job and bleak prospects. She has done prac Broken Hill and Wagga2. loves the bush. Consider starting out with that bill; marriage, children and a house and job become a $ choice? how about some wealthfare for them?

Personally don’t think you should teach till you are 30 and have something to teach

Half OF Australian teachers? Or just half Australian teachers?

JaneCaro Totally understand, as close relation of Year 11 kid at NSW public high school. Well said!

I can relate to where she is coming from, but teachers in Australia have it easy compared to their counterparts in Singapore, China and India. Expectations of migrants from that cohort definitely puts more pressure on 'aussie' teachers.

NZBirder All over the world -- regardless of whatever their pay or working conditions may be -- there is a brutal attrition of teachers within their first five years of their career. Those who have stickability reap the rewards of an experientially-rewarding way of earning a living.

Stick to it kid. I’m winding back but still love what I do. It ain’t easy, but nothing is. It’s not best paid job but it’s better than most. It’s a great family job. I’m almost 75 and in my 55th year of education. I will die content that I’ve done something useful with my life.

JaneCaro Clearly the teaching profession is too female dominated and needs more male teachers and gender parity to achieve better outcomes for children

Unionist socialism

An attrition rate of around 50 per cent for the teaching profession has been the norm for decades .

In an era of blaming everybody but the parents for the misdeeds of children I would not be a teacher for 4 times the salary they get or the holiday breaks they can’t enjoy.

They are all casual or sitting on contracts that are renewed every 12 months. How can you go to the bank with that for a loan.

The lack of holidays must be brutal!...

Replace the word ‘culture’ with conditions and you’re beginning to approach the truth.

Parents would also be a nightmare and now they can email teachers direct.

The question to be asked is why males do not take up teaching.

I would never go back to teaching in schools. The pollies and complicit unions have wrecked it. My god NAPLAN is a toxin, thanks Gillard

You mean you have to actually know what you're doing and take responsibility for your performance? ...the horror of it all!!!

. This will doubtless come as a terrible emotional blow to Erin, but whatever she chooses to do other than teaching will most likely have performance indicators and targets, too. Just saying.

The Saudi women activists still being 'tortured' months after driving ban endedIn June last year, Saudi Arabia finally gave women the right to drive, but the most well-known figure behind the campaign to end the ban wasn’t there to celebrate. How amazing. Didn't see that coming. And on must be true If activists say it, you know that it's bullshit. Saudi Arabia is on the UN Human Rights Commission, so go take it up with the UN instead of wasting taxpayers money on this tripe.
