For a few reasons:
Because I just don't think it is worth the stress!
Managing behaviour is not my forte.
I don't find the GCSE curriculum interesting
The pay freeze and coming tax rises make it even less appealing.
I want to be be to have a comfortable life (I dont need to be mega rich, but it seems a lot of teachers are just making ends meet after kids etc)
I also feel that the more i learn about teaching/the education system, the more disillusioned I become with it.
The staff atmosphere at my school is okay, so that isn't the issue.
I got a first class stem degree from a russel group. Do you think I am better off trying to find a different job or is there a good future to be had in teaching? (Obviously I wouldn't quit until I had another job sorted, as I know the economy isn't good atm)
Especially if you're currently a teacher, what would your advice be?
Fyi: I am working in a school and have had my own classes from september,
