I had every intention of writing about today’s teachers’ strikes and the connection between low pay, low teacher retention and poor educational outcomes. But I concluded there was little point in attempting to produce a facsimile of Martha Gill’s excellent comment piece in today’s paper.
So instead I wanted to borrow from a counterintuitive take I read many years ago, and somehow remembered until now even though I frequently forget the names of people to whom I have just been introduced.
