My dad went into teaching design and technology after working in the building trade for 20 years, he worked in fairly rough Birmingham secondary schools , nearly finished him off, he’s back in the building trade now and much happier
The system chews people up and spits them out, fine if your young with the energy for it , and if you can get into a decent school where the majority of the kids don’t have behavioural issues that makes a huge difference

Anyone gone into secondary school teaching later in their career?
I'm looking to leave my relatively well paid cushy job in a uni to go into teaching because I think kids are ace and people need to do more for them. Anyone done this and regretted it? Could it be worse than banal admin and management?
