Those that know teach
I am thinking about a career change, one of my options is to become a teacher. Are there any teachers out there on the .org? How did you get into it?
If I was to teach, it would have to be NON secondary school (unless it was private) as looking around me; all modern teenagers are w***ers!! I think primary/infant school could be the most rewarding, but I don't want to effectively be a child minder ... so we are left with either private secondary, A-Level or Degree, but I can't see that being as rewarding and it must be tougher to teach at A-Level and degree level! If there are any teachers out there, what was your deciding factor choosing the age group to teach? Oh and if it makes any difference, I'd probably teach Maths, Physics, or combined science. I am also considering TEFL. Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 24-03-08 at 01:13 PM. |

Re: Those that know teach
I dont know about England but in Scotland there is a huge lack of jobs. They introduced a 1 year course for those who have a degree (degree in anything I might add) they do their 1 year but cannot get a job at the end of it.
I would check out the job situation before you do anything. Primary School kids are almost as bad as secondary just shorter |

As for jobs, I thought there was a lack of teachers, hence the recent initiative/adds on telly "Those that know, teach" etc. I wouldn't move as far as Scotland anyway, but would be prepared to move to get a good school to teach in. In fact there is no way I'd teach the scum I see walking around the streets of Portsmoof, it'd be like trying to teach palaeolithic man! - but palaeolithic man with a bad attitude!

Not only do I see primary school a place where you can have most positive impact on the kids, but there will be yummy mummies a dozen all wanting to improve their kids grades!! |

Yep, in primary school you teach all subjects rather than specialise in one and there were no yummy mummies or daddies in my school. |

Re: Those that know teach
Surely private school is the best option if you can score a job at one.
You won't get stabbed, better facilities, better pay and most importanlty way longer holidays. |

My best bet is to try and teach in a village in an affluent area. That way I should be less likely to have to deal with the problems of inner city kids/schools/parents bring!! The job to me is to 'learn' kids, and to get satisfaction from seeing them elicit knowledge that I can impart to them! ... not to fight for your own life of to spend 99% of your time trying to sort out little sh1ts and battling against equally brain dead and boorish parents!!

not always the case. recently there was an 8 year old girl shot by a bb gun as she stood at a bus stop. the private school bus drove past and a 10 year old boy fired at her. Primary school you teach all subjects but you could become a specialist teacher and tour all the local primary schools. We have a music teacher who is with us every monday a brass teacher who is there on a wednesday, pe specialist on a thursday. |

Re: Those that know teach
Oh and I think it'd be safe to assume I'd not put up with any s*** in my class!!
If the kids didn't love and respect me, they sure as hell would fear me!! |
