They only have one crack at education so if the school screws up one year, it had better put things right the next. Or else. My concern is not the mental health of teachers but the academic and economic wellbeing of students. While the school where I am a governor would agree with this, the head's (in)actions sometimes don't seem to back it up. That is when heads need challenging rather than supporting.
