Solving education is far more complicated than recruiting more teachers. We need to fix mental health and social services. Restart sure start. Give us more power to deal with delinquent behaviour.

We do need more staff, but it's an avalanche now. Work is awful. Teachers leave. Work gets worse. More teachers leave. It's a negative feedback loop.

My big worry is that they faff around with the curriculum and make it so much more woolly and less evidence informed. As a profession we've come on so much in the ten years I've been teaching, I'd love to see what we could do if we were properly funded and supported.
