Teacher: One woman's struggle to keep the heart in teaching | 
A few parts made me want to pass my resignation\ quickly and others inspire me to continue onward, helping me to remember what's extremely significant about educating. Know more here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/teacher-gabbie-stroud/book/9781760295905.html
pickYes! Yes! Yes!
Stroud tells the story of her teaching career & why she chose to leave the profession.
She writes well & encapsulates the reasons so many teachers feel ‘demoralised‘ and quite frankly, fed up! So many pressures and not enough support or acknowledgement 😢😞.
I am not a teacher but I work in education and I recommend this book to anyone wanting to better understand and value our teachers. 👏
I wasn‘t sure whether to start this while on my long summer work break. I‘m a school psychologist & worried that it might be too much like work. I also knew it‘d be quite depressing.
But given @Jeg ‘s rave review and having seen the book and author pop-up on social media a lot lately, I decided to give it a go.
80 pages in and it‘s certainly resonating. I‘d love to hear from any other teachers who‘ve read it.

I call this work "Buddha meditating on #blameitonlitsy #bookmail"
Shout out to @Jeg
pickI cried ,I laughed and I totally related. I highly recommend this book to teachers, exteachers , and all parents.
Gabbie writes really well and writes from the heart. It‘s an Aussie book but think it would be applicable to other places. I‘m so glad I read it.
When you get home to find these lovelies waiting for you 👏😊📚. Thanks husbro. 😘

@Jeg thanks for the recommendation.
pickA wonderful, painful memoir about a dedicated teacher‘s struggle with an increasingly unsupportive and bureaucratic system.

In this memoir, Aussie teacher, Gabbie Stroud, tells of ‘how she came to teaching, what makes a great teacher, what our kids need from their teachers, and what it was that finally broke her‘.
Only recently released in Aus, I‘ve seen lots of positive comments about it, and I plan to read sometime soon. 🍏 🎓
