That may have been the case years ago, when the job was fairly secure, but it certainly isn't now. Social media has caused all sorts of problems for teachers, when keyboard warriors can print what they want with no comeback. Heads often side with the parents, rather than support their staff, easier than rocking the boat. They are terrified that they will lose numbers, which in turn invites the inspectorate in to the building. Each child that leaves, cost the school money. Easier to lose a teacher and replace with a younger one who are paid less.
Yet again, bang on. We see that over here as well. Parents have def become a work enviromental health issue/hazard, and heads/principals do not support their staff.
