“I had forgotten how draining teaching is.” 75% of secondary school teachers have considered leaving the profession.

Adrienne said she “no longer believes” in the teaching profession.Adrienne said teachers are working much harder now in larger classrooms with more students who require additional needs.

Adrienne said the cost of getting a qualification is too high for many people and newly qualified teachers do not get a lot of opportunities for permanent jobs. Warren just finished a five-year secondment in the Department of Education and has returned to teaching.He said teachers have shorter hours than most jobs – but teaching is “constant, constant firefighting”.

New teachers get it very hard. They don't get a contract for several years & they only get a few hours of work, so they travel to & from work & only get paid for two hours work plus they're expected to do loads for nothing & no recognition of years of previous work experience.

Because they want longer holidays I’m betting?

Every employee thinks about leaving the job, that's why it's called a job!!

They leave because they believe the current curriculum doesn't prepare their charges for the real world. Life skills are important, but are they being taught?

Of course. With academic freedom gone out the window, who'd want to teach? With entitled Karents sticking their nose in everything, who'd want to teach? Wit the same entitled Karents raising their crotch goblins to be disrespectful shits, who'd want to teach?

Oh well … should have filled out the CAO differently

Constantly being infected with brain damaging, immune system damaging, cardiovascular system damaging COVID will help

Yea, until they realise you get 4 weeks holidays in most other jobs

Teachers are overpaid with far too much time off

Just before the 'but the holidays' comments... Remember that teachers in Ireland have among the highest number of contact hours and class sizes in EU. Primary Teaching Hours 🇪🇺 - 756 🇮🇪 - 915 Secondary Teaching Hours 🇪🇺- 643 🇮🇪- 735

What a shower of whingbags, they wouldn't know what hard work was 🙄

So even with months of holidays, they're still banjaxed, imagine if they had to work full days,weeks,months.

Wait till the have to work 48 weeks of the year,8 hours a day,pretty much 5 days a week before they start whinging about their job being 'draining' I'd love months off during the summer when I can either take a very long holiday or take a 2nd job,all while still being fully paid

They won’t

I don’t know anybody in any profession that hasn’t considered leaving it. I’m seriously worried about that other 25%. If you haven’t even considered another profession I don’t think you should be teaching. Likely you’re institutionalised, low in creativity and critical thinking.

Expressed vs revealed preferences

It won’t be a popular opinion but I think that a lot of teacher dissatisfaction comes with many teachers being too comfortable with their positions. But I do think that teaching is demanding and it is a real shame that so many teachers don’t seem to have passion anymore.

You should ask Enoch Burke that question, next time you have him on your show, before he becomes a politician

But then they think about the long holidays thay have and decide to stay.

“No longer an attractive profession”- ASTI seek pay rise for teachersIncreased pay rates is necessary to solve the teacher shortage, the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland has said Not to worry. There’s always the Drag Queens if things get really desperate. There was a time when a HDip was adequate and then the Government and Universities decided to 'raise the standard' with an MEd. The inevitable result is graduate teachers saddled with debt, who can make an easier living in an oil-soaked Middle East country. It's not complicated. And we have Michael Martin talking of the dangers of homeschooling. Farcical.
