I teach sums and typing on my iPhoneI hope you don't teach English? Your grammar is appalling
Was a joke by the way
It’s shite. Public sector workers under Tories get fucked over massively!!!I wouldn't do it. Pay and career progression seems pretty crap for what they do.
From my point of view the system definitely needs to changeThe good people I have seen leave the job
Replaced by young keen people that have neither the skills or experience that means they won’t cope
Something needs to change in the profession
. What do you teach out of interest?I teach sums and typing on my iPhone
The resources in the schools that I attended weren't great but then again, they weren't approved schools .The workload is absolutely shocking and the resources provided are shite. Nowhere near the easy career people claim, maybe it was in the past but not now.
Sounds awfully similar: ours just couldn’t comprehend that when you first start, it’s a huge, never ending round of plan-teach-mark. And that’s not taking in to account behaviour or lack of it in most schools.We had four train to teach graduates start with us in September.
Three have quit before the end of the year due to workload.
The other is going to finish but says she doesn’t want to teach.

They used to go for a pint at lunch time.It's not like the heyday of the 80's where teachers could rule with fear, pop out (or in) for a tab when they wanted, then have a relativity luxurious retirement.
Every Friday: an hour and 20 mins liquid lunch and as many tabs as I could smoke.They used to go for a pint at lunch time.
Sounds like the pupils in my old school.Every Friday: an hour and 20 mins liquid lunch and as many tabs as I could smoke.
Maybe if the hours they actually did including marking, organising and filling out paperwork were transparent then people would have a better understanding of the situation.(Some) People see the holidays and don’t understand the rest. They’re convinced it is a ridiculously great deal, yet they don’t apply. Funny that. I wonder if that is the real reason behind the bitterness....? That they know they can’t do it.

Is the workload shocking when spread out over the year, or is it just condensed into too small a space?The workload is absolutely shocking and the resources provided are shite. Nowhere near the easy career people claim, maybe it was in the past but not now.
I’ve done two training courses last week in my so called holidays.Maybe if the hours they actually did including marking, organising and filling out paperwork were transparent then people would have a better understanding of the situation.
