that is nothing new. even decades ago was such. that doesnt mean teachers never cared. many teachers realise the real difference comes when u influence students through quality of teaching, and interacting with them.

If promotion and higher salary means heavier workload/stress than this,
I'll gladly forfeit it for better mental and physical health. Just wish to focus on teaching
so thinking if FAJT route can be my next step.
But u may just be doing more work than other teachers? Check with ur collleagues. One thhing u have to realike unlike other jobs is you can work more for students - literally to INFINITY. Eg u could check every piece of work they do.
A line has to be drawn - that depends on subject, level, age appropriateness but also school/dept culture.

Have seen some teachers don’t give homework at all, only give class work. That could one method to adopt to reduce marking load. Students are happy as well.

if extra workload translates to extra pay, i am sure it would not be the case.

Unlike tuition in which the more students you teach, the more pay you have; in MOE schools, you can be doing more work, but if no one recognises it as making an impact, then your pay may even be less than expected. Does anyone even care how much marking you do for students or that you even prepare your own resources cause no one in the dept bothers to update the resources after donkey years?

I have colleagues who are so overwhelmed with work and they just ask for half or 3/4 load for half load

Seems like many are planning to switch to part-time load, or try to be FAJT.
People are just really burnt out.

It will be an education service with the old folks up there governing without knowing what's really happening on the ground.

they do, but it’s not even moe who decides.
it’s a very tight labour market.
govt will not allocate more teachers

Tight labour market is true. But we cannot expect to have our cake and eat it. If we are short of teachers, we cannot expect to do more and more and more every year while maintaining or increasing standards. We have to right-size education based on staffing constraints. If the Education Service is 30k strong we cannot behave as if we are 50k strong. Then you get teachers working 80-90 hours per week including take-home work. It's ridiculous.
