Get Into Teaching Advert

[Less]

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!

(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).

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!

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.
