Every advert for teaching and every teacher clearly states that IT IS A REWARDING JOB

I'm not saying it's as bad as retail or other minimum wage slog but the realistic upper salary cap is around £35k and the prospects for development beyond a senior classroom role are low. It's never going to attract the upper levels of academic talent because the pay and prospects are quite simply better and more achievable elsewhere. The profession attracts A FEW who have a genuine passion for education - those teachers certainly do exist - but is it the majority of teachers? I highly doubt it.
