Madz Kelly, Reader's Comment 86 of 97, Special Report: Teachers reveal why they walked, Yasmine Phillips, Education reporter, Perth Now, 19 February 2011: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/special-report-teachers-reveal-why-they-walked/comments-e6frg13u-1226008656772 Historical link preserved from the original page.

Teachers work in hot, crowded rooms with no air conditioning.

I'm now in my 12th year of teaching high school kids.

The issues I have are mainly the result of cr_p government policy.

For example, the decision made to make school compulsory all the way to Year 12 has resulted in kids who do nothing but disrupt classes, coming to school to socialise only, being given the right to stay at school by law.

Five years ago these kids would have been given the boot within two weeks of school starting and the responsibility for their own kids would be handed back TO THEIR PARENTS.

That way the kids who want to learn did, and teachers could get on with their jobs.
