I know picking your children up early today is an inconvenience to you so apologies for that. As a Mum I know it is a tricky juggle, (although Olivia was thrilled to have a half day hee hee hee). For me this action teachers are currently taking is as much about being a Mum with children currently in the education system as me being a teacher.
The teacher shortage is horrifying to be honest. I won’t bore you with the stats but the numbers are alarming. For me this campaign is about the recruitment of great people into the profession and the retention of so many fabulous teachers. Education is so important and some value needs to be given back into the profession in order for children to thrive in the future. Most things always come down to people in the end, you need good people. We need to fix this.
