What being a teacher is really like: - 

YEAH, BUT YOU GET LOADS OF HOLIDAYS THOUGH: 

By Bill Simon.

Synopsis: As children we are oblivious to the inner workings of teaching and school life. Leaving the impression that teaching is easy, with short hour days, high pay, no pressure and all the holidays you could ever want. What really happens in the safety of the staff room?

When stepping into the job you are met with a barrage of challenge, responsibility, accountability, reward, politics, abusive children, delightful children, stress, and anxiety. All of which you had no recollection of from your own school days, and never fully anticipated when posing in your cap and gown upon completing teacher training.

Yeah but you get loads of holidays though, is a record of the typical highs and lows of being a teacher. Exposing the frustrations of being governed by politicians and leaders that have no experience of the profession. 

The ever-mounting professional obstacles to schools and students, leaving an all-time high of teachers leaving the profession jaded by their experiences, or developing stress related medical conditions.

See how staff humour and bitching bring teams together to survive the year. How the humour and reward of working with children in a school keeps teachers, despite the abusive relationship they have with teaching.
