Get Into Teaching Advert
 

We've all seen the ad,

https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/

The latest addition to it is "Apply now to start in September".

Well, That just isn't fair is it?

If I was to apply, it would only be if they said, "Apply now, start now", otherwise I would lose out on that nice long summer holiday that is one of the perks of the job!

:hidewall: (Less ducks behind wall in case any teachers read this and give him lines because they always say they don't get the full six weeks).:D

Couldn't do it, far to politically incorrect in my attitudes, don't hold with the lefty, pink fluffy unicorn rewriting of British history & as to equality & diversity ..... not even going to go there!

And to top it all, I only speak English & a mangled version of "Germing", so how the other 26 nationalities in the classroom are going to get their heads round what I'd be trying to teach is anyone's guess! :rolleyes:

Loads of people seem to think I'd make a good teacher, so I enquired about this last year, right about the same time as I did some "fact finding" at the school where I'm a governor.

There is no way I'd put myself through what a teacher has to do to earn a crust. It was bad enough hearing that it's typically a 60 hour week, and the holidays are a luxury where you only do a 35 hour week. Then, the (ICT) teachers I was speaking with causally dropped in "But we do try to remember that the ones teaching the core subjects have it much harder than we do..."

I thought for part of a second that you really believed what you'd typed, then I remembered this is in anything goes, what a wind up merchant, you had me fooled!

I did some adult teaching(you can teach vocational subjects with just City and Guilds qualifications) but I would not dream of training to teach children.......I admire those who have the patience to do it, but I really think it is a thankless task.
