The First Year Teacher
"Schools are infinitely more complex than 10 years ago, too. Principals are under pressure, teachers are under more pressure, kids coming into class are under more pressure. It's a time bomb. Young teachers walk in unprepared, and I think our in-service programs are band-aids. We don't have the comprehensive program to put things in place." Frank Barnes, organiser for the NSW Teachers Federation, says there is anecdotal evidence that stress leave as a result of attacks on ... teachers is increasing. "Most of the time, harassment is at a low level—usually verbal," he says, adding that this is far from benign. "The NSW Anti-Discrimination Board describes a hierarchy: name-calling precedes violence and then murder. It's part of the actual process."
