Are we losing a generation of experience across the teaching profession?
I've finally found a moment in the academic year to read this astonishing book by Bennie Kara and Hannah Wilson, bringing together many voices sharing personal and professional experiences of diversity, inclusion and equality. Already I am hooked!
The age of teachers across the profession
Ageism definitely exists. In one school I worked at, a new Headteacher arrived and fifteen teachers were put on capability and bullied out of their jobs. Their crime? they were in their late 40s and early 50s……
Exists? It rife and rampant. “We want someone young and ….”. “You’re expensive” ” Why did you retire “. All said to me
It’s vile
It’s a sad state of affairs.
