As a teacher who left. You are spot on. I am passionate about education but not about forcing children to comply to rigid behaviour and curricular requirements. I tried my best to influence the system over 35 years and I failed. I didn't fail the children but I failed to communicate that passion and commitment up the chain of power. I finally got the message that OFSTED and Government were not interested in me developing my skills in teaching and learning, they simply wanted me to obey their rules. Sorry but F##k em.

This really resonates! As a teacher noticing no change in the circumstances for me or the students, it's sad to stay trapped in a failing system .
