I was a teacher. When I began my career I worked 70/75 hours a week. I worked every evening and weekend planning and marking. I NEVER had a day off from the job unless I was too ill to make it into school. And I spent my own money on supplies for my students.
I burned out and the stress kickstarted my MS. COVID retired me. My hard-earned skills have been wasted by a careless government who does not value my profession. #TeachersPay #PayTeachersAFairWage #teach
