Very sad... I know so many colleagues who are feeling this way and are ready to throw in the towel and opt for a career change. These are excellent teachers who will be a real loss to the classroom and the profession.

The even sadder thing Lucy is not a rarity.

So frustratingly sad. I'm not sure if the government is realising that there is a slow but steady exodus from teaching, especially experienced women, with families of their own. They simply don't want to do the job anymore. And for me, that is a travesty for our children. Twenty-something NQTs have many strengths and advantages, but schools need experience as well.

So true.
