I read an article recently about Australian teachers who were quitting or thinking about it. None mentioned the pay, though I think it could be improved in places. Almost all however mentioned that lack of autonomy. They had more and more responsibilities, more pressure from parents, but less allowance for how they taught. IMO, we should be grouping tasks by those which require a trained teacher and those which can be done by a trainee or some sort of clerk. There are surely tasks like preparing curriculum for remote learning, or marking (my mum was a teacher and as a teenager, I used to mark work for her), etc that could be done by an assistant split across multiple classes or a trainee. Or could be done remotely even. Spread the workload and ensure that the key interface between teacher and students gets the teacher's full time and attention.
