What’s really happening inside today’s schools?From the outside, teaching can look like a stable job with good pay and long holidays. But inside the building, the reality is far more complicated.Modern classrooms have become high-pressure human environments. Teachers, educational assistants, and support staff are managing behaviour challenges, emotional regulation, social conflict, and student mental health while still trying to teach.In this episode of You’re Probably Right, we explore the hidden workload inside today’s education system and why more teachers are experiencing burnout.We also look at the role of support staff, the pressure created when schools lose experienced people, and what happens when the number of problems entering the building keeps rising while the human capacity to manage them stays the same.If you want to understand the real pressures inside schools today, this conversation matters.
