Teach Survive Repeat

By Mark Rickard

Teach. Survive. Repeat.
The truth about teaching they don't want you to know.

Forget the glossy recruitment ads and heartwarming classroom montages. Teach, Survive, Repeat is a raw, unapologetic expos of modern teaching in the UK-where idealism collides with chaos, and surviving the day often feels like a bigger achievement than inspiring young minds.

From overcrowded classrooms and systemic failures to toxic leadership and the weaponisation of Ofsted, Mark Rickard lifts the lid on a profession gasping for reform. Based on lived experiences and anonymised real-life accounts, this book is not a feel-good teacher memoir-it's a brutal, honest survival story.

Explore topics like:

Behavioural anarchy in under-resourced schools

The emotional and mental toll on educators

The rise of unqualified staff replacing trained teachers

The silencing of passionate voices under corporate-style academy trusts

Whether you're a teacher clinging to hope, a parent curious about what really goes on behind the staffroom door, or someone who left the profession wondering if it was just you-this book is for you.

Real talk. Real stories. Real pain.
Read it. Share it. Survive it.
