Top Ten Frustrations As A Teacher: Round Up

When I say frustrations, what I've actually written about are quite serious barriers that are in place that stop teachers doing their jobs properly. I'm not just moaning here: if these ten things were eliminated from the profession and turned around to be their positive counterpart, then that would work a long way towards fixing the 'broken' education system we have today. These frustrations are not just downsides to the job that teachers choose to be in, they are constricting and limiting arrangements that wear down and alienate passionate and able staff.

Number 9 Inconsistent assessment of performance

Number 8 Feeling lied to about the nature of the job
