Absolutely. Also differences between what it takes to get people into teaching, and what it takes to get them to stay. Pay matters more for the former, pupil behaviour the latter.

Autonomy is certainly important when it comes to intrinsic motivation, but the idea that structure is its antithesis is misconceived. A better line of thinking is: under what circumstances might structure either enhance or undermine autonomy and why?
