New South Wales: What are the biggest problems for NSW teachers?

As an under-35 year old teacher who took a massive pay cut to become a teacher, I can tell you the biggest problems for NSW teachers are the accreditation system and parents who expect you to "fix" their kids for them.

As a parent it's my responsibility to teach my kids right and wrong.

As a teacher it is my responsibility to give kids an academic education.

Not only do new teachers need to go to uni for 4 years, they then need to go through a lengthy accreditation process, taking years to be "fully qualified" to teach.

Meanwhile they are teaching all day, everyday, taking mountains of work home, and getting paid a pittance.
