Abstract

Early career teachers are struggling and too often the system is failing them and their students. Whilst this article may not be the most uplifting one, it is a conversation we all need to have. To say the last two years as a teacher have had their ups and downs is an understatement. The ups in this rollercoaster ride were the actual teaching and the downs a result of the schooling system.
