A poster on TES website asked for teachers who enjoyed teaching to post to a thread and got a variety of responses.
After 26 years of teaching I still don't think the kids are the problem. (And believe me I teach some *charmers*!) I still think it is the perceived failure of SMT/SLT to back you up which is the problem.
It is their *job* to support staff *contra mundum*. Remind them today. Make a note to remind them tomorrow.
And if the SMT are a problem the government and the journalists are worse because they don't appear in the staffroom periodically so I can't give them a piece of my mind :)
SMT= Senior Management Team
SLT = Senior Leadership Team
If they spent half the time doing their m**********g job as they do on dreaming up fancy names for themselves, things would be better :)
