HoD languages in London private school. 70 hrs a week mostly admin. Pupils increasingly arrogant and entitled, a number of parents utterly unreasonable emailing at all hours about their precious offspring. The worst thing is how clueless colleagues are about the real world, they are just totally wrapped up in boring bullshit about syllabi, admin, responsibility points and rowing results that noone cares about. They complain how ruinous the working hours are then walk away spouting these f*ing ridiculous clichés like "onwards and upwards". Never thought I would feel this way 10 years in. Looking to resign and do sthg else this year.
