Unfortunately a sign of the times. I absolutely loved teaching but realised after nearly two decades, that it was no longer sustainable.
Not sure how the government can fix this.

Building teams. We shouldn’t ask ‘will they fit in with us?’. We should ask instead, what don’t we currently have? What perspectives and ideas and styles will challenge our thinking, provide different insights, bring divergent views? What voices are we missing?
That’s team building for me.

I have just been exposed! I have 137 unread books and I still keep borrowing more from the library.
My challenge is to read at least three a month. If I read more, I'm allowed to treat myself with another 🤣🤣.
So I'm going to start with this...
