DGD is just off to university to study drama and education. She is just completing a gap year as a teaching assistant at the secondary school she attended. It does not seem to have put her off.

Just heard on BBC Breakfast. This is after or in the first two years.
Main reasons are excessive workload, stress, family commitments.
Add to them those retiring through ill health or age or other reasons. Not a good prospect.
Would you be a teacher ( again) ?
At primary level you can have children still in nappies, those who have never been taught to obey or to mix with others. Behaviour in secondary schools can make the job a nightmare.
Parental expectations also make the job difficult.
I take my hat off to good teachers today.
