About this listen
Martin and Dan dig into the quiet, creeping burnout that hits teachers before their careers have even started properly. It’s not the kids — it’s the crushing weight of school politics, policies, and pressure.
We talk:
– Why 57% of teachers have thought about leaving
– How early-career burnout is becoming the norm
– That moment you realise you’re showing up… but you’re not really there
– The hidden damage done by toxic leadership, guilt, and impossible standards
– And the absolute power of setting boundaries, knowing your rights, and finding joy again
From book scrutinies on policies that didn’t exist, to headteachers using spirit levels on displays, this is a deep dive into how the job we love ends up draining the life out of us — and what we can do about it.
Because if you’re not okay, your classroom won’t be either.
