ABSTRACT
In Britain today, properly-qualified teachers are gold-dust. Everyone wants them. The laws of the market, therefore dictate that teachers have the upper hand. They are the better mousetrap, and the world is beating a path to their door. Only it doesn’t feel that way, does it? Teachers feel just as fed up and put-upon as they always have done, and are hell-bent on making themselves even rarer by taking early retirement at, say, 33.
