It is teaching. Just teaching. Just what I do. What I did. Past tense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Gabrielle Stroud was a very dedicated teacher with over a decade of experience. Months later, she resigned in frustration and despair when she realised that the Naplan-test education model was stopping her from doing the very thing she was best at: teaching individual children according to their needs and talents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer groundbreaking essay 'Teaching Australia' in the February 2016 Griffith Review outlined her experiences and provoked a huge response from former and current teachers around the world. That essay lifted the lid on a scandal that is yet to properly break amp;mdash; that our education system is unfair to our children and destroying their teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a powerful memoir inspired by her original groundbreaking essay, Gabrielle tells the full story: how she came to teaching, what makes a great teacher, what our kids need from their teachers, and what it was that finally broke her.
