Andrew, this article pulls at my heart strings so much because my wife is a teacher in a very challenging school. She tells me almost every day about all the stresses you mention and how little support the school gets to proactively deal with issues highlighted by the headteacher. There are some good things done by the county, granted, but there is so much more needed. Teacher’s mental health is also a massive problem and I don’t think this gets enough attention by “the system”.
