What's wrong with our schooling, Peter Wilson, The Australian, 30 June 2012: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/whats-wrong-with-our-schooling/story-fn59niix-1226412580251 Historical link preserved from the original page.

I won't go back to teaching. I walked. I lost money. But gee, I feel good.

I am male and taught High School last year.

I got called "Rascist", "P--fter", "Loser", "S-xual Abuser" and "W-nker" just to name a few titles.

In general the students did not want to learn.

I can wear that, but when these children are hardly disciplined and let off lightly its hard to go back.

Private schools kick out the problem students.

State schools tolerate them which means lower standards and learning outcomes.

I won't go back and am looking for a new job.

I walked, have now lost money, but gee I feel good!!!
