An anonymous teacher called in on Breakfast with Martin Bester admitting about the circumstances in which teachers have to work in. She says, "It was always my dream to become a teacher but this year I've been thrown with a chair and I've been hit twice after trying to stop a fight. It's been difficult."
Martin Bester said it would not have happened when he was in school.
