My husband after 3 years of hell, depression and anxiety has given up teaching. He qualified just over 4 years ago and since he finished his NQT years that he passed with flying colours it has been hell. I forget the number of times he has broken down crying.
Marking in the early hours 6 out of 7 nights a week
Having to use his own resources and money to make sure the kids had decent lessons.
Had lessons plans thrown out the window 5 or 6 times a week when he was put in a different class to cover.
Penalised for not stupid things such as not using IT in a practical gardening session and the worst one of all he was marked down a grade in a lesson by ofstead because one of his students did not turn up, this student had been run over and killed the day before!!!
Being attacked by students and on one case a parent and then having to teach the student the next day.
So he has now got a job as a postman, not as much money and we do need to cut back a bit but I have my happy husband back and I am proud he has had the strength to make the change.
My lovely inlaws have said he has let them down and they are now embarrassed to tell people what he does!!!!
So basicly they would rather have their son being a nervous wreak in a job they can brag about then have him happy
Now he feels like shit- Bastards bastards bastards
