"Relief from This Relief," is a fully AI-generated, tongue-in-cheeck protest song about the ongoing issue of teacher shortages and the growing workload crisis faced by educators in Western Australia.
As schools struggle to cope with rising student numbers and frequent staff absences, teachers are often forced to cover additional classes during their designated duties other than teaching (DOTT) periods, leaving them with little time for essential tasks like marking and lesson planning.
This protest song highlights the frustration and exhaustion felt by teachers who are overworked and underpaid. With a proposed 11% pay increase over three years (upped by a meagre 1% to 12 over three after strike action) that falls short of keeping pace with inflation, teachers need a rallying cry about the unsustainability of the situation as it stands.
Join us in spreading the message and advocating for the rights and well-being of teachers everywhere. Let's stand together for a brighter and more equitable future for education!
Full credit to ChatGPT and Suno - GPT even wrote the draft for this description. I would have penned it from scratch, but I was given a P5 Year 9 Boys' Health class relief.
