New South Wales: teacher claims that, after 37 years of dedication and putting up with incompetent management, she developed stress-related diabetes, was medically retired because of 'a personality disorder', and can never return to teaching.
I survived in the education system for 37 years until I was full of stress related diabetes.
I was medically retired as a person suffering from a "Personality Disorder. "
This seems to be a cunning way to stop a mass exodus of teachers who were suffering from "Stress Related Diabetes.
Even if I wanted to return to teaching, this diagnosis of a personality disorder prevents me.
This is all you get after 37 years of dedication and putting up with incompetent management.
