Default Re: 6 months and qualified to teach kids?

sounds about right!

im sure the reduction could temp some professionals who turn out to be great teachers into the system.

but imo it will tempt more not so good professionals into the system as they would see it as a "make money/get a job quick scheme"

imo a teacher should be someone who wants to help / nurture and indeed teach children and would/should be willing to put the years training in to do something they are passionate about, rather than something that will pay the bills.

so yes i do have concerns as my lil one will be starting school in about 4yrs time...probably just as the large scale consequences of reducing the training time will be taking effect
