The final episode of Tough Young Teachers aired this week. The BBC Three series focused on a group of Teach First recruits taking their first steps in the profession. TES called for questions for a webchat with the show’s heroes via the hashtag #TYTchat. Find out what they had to say at tesconnect.comtoughyoungteachers

All new teachers that I know say they literally have no time to themselves - does that improve?
