See Me After Class

Teacher workload is not a topic we feel comfortable talking about. We know what a privileged position we hold in society, and of course there are all those holidays - but if we're on to such a good thing, why is it so hard to attract good young graduates into teaching - and why do more than 40% of us leave in our first 5 years? Sticking with the 'teachers are worth it' theme, we play an excerpt from Oliver's speech about how every one of us is special (a link to the video of the whole speech is in the show notes) and we ask a few students whether they think teachers should get a pay rise.
