I am starting teacher training and so have been visiting classrooms to get some experience of what to expect. While the teachers I met were very welcoming and never made me feel like I was burdening them, I could easily see they were being overworked and pressure was only ever being built up. I only ever hear bad news in regards to teaching: high percentage of trainees and NQTs leaving, mental health problems i.e. depression, and a startling amount of contempt displayed by those in charge.
#teaching: is this indicative of your own experiences? Is it all really doom and gloom?
