Melissa Melbourne, Reader's Comment 76 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.

I need a permanent teaching job somewhere near my home.

Wake up, DET and offer me a permanent teaching job in a school somewhere remotely near my home so that I can bond with the students in my care and actually teach them - rather than spending 3 months every year applying frantically for the next teaching job when my contract ends.

Several of my friends and I are secondary school teachers in the state school system and are currently unemployed and "waiting for placement.

I LOVE teaching and WANT to teach in state high schools for people who cannot afford private education.

But I CANNOT tolerate not having a permanent job at a school somewhere remotely in the vicinity of my home and having a sad one year contract and job insecurity.

EMPLOY ME long term please or, in desperation, I will be forced to look for work overseas.
