Sulis et al. (Sulis, G., A. Mairitsch, S. Babic, S. Mercer, and P. Resnik. 2024. ‘ELT Teachers’ Agency for Wellbeing.’ ELT Journal 78(2):198–206.) make some interesting and valid points about teacher agency, burnout and attrition. But, while fully accepting the value of what they have to say, in this response to their article I would like to suggest that it is not enough, and I attempt to suggest positive courses of action to deal with this long-running and ongoing threat to teacher wellbeing.
