Catholic school teacher: I taught at six schools in seven years, ALWAYS on a contract!

I taught for seven years from 2003 to 2009, mostly in the Catholic system and ALWAYS on a contract!

Six schools in seven years.

It's not just the state schools who do this.

I don't teach anymore - it got too stressful trying to do your job and trying to keep your job at the same time.

Teachers work under constant pressure.

I taught for one year - and never again.

Constant pressure from all sides: colleagues, students, students' parents and your own family because you're always at work and not paying attention to them.

The 'extended' holidays were unpaid, as the contract was for 10 months.

It was an absolute joy to see students accurately demonstrate something you'd taught them - but this was not enough to keep me working as one.
