I've had a bunch of close friends leave teaching and start working in the private sector. Without fail, every single one of them says they are less stressed, their work/life balance is better, and their mental health is better, even though some are making less money.

Young teachers talk about the toll of teacher shortages, unsustainable workloads and why they may be lost to the profession unless things change dramatically. They know how important May 4 is and why teachers must stand together as one. #MoreThanThanks

Acting is tough... BUT, teaching is like putting on 6 shows a day, where the audience and PA announcer constantly interrupt you, and the audience has to pass a test at the end to make sure that they were paying attention.🍎🤷🏻♂️

“I can’t speak more highly of what Federation did for me,” member and Olympics basketball referee James Boyer said. He’s been granted 20 days of paid special leave to referee at #Tokyo2020, after Federation advocated with the Department of his behalf. nswtf.org/olympic-referee

Schools are getting creative with engaging their students’ voice - my EOI interview for the DP role included the school captain as the student rep on the panel. Thanks for the article @Chris____Harris
