After sending my last child off to school and her getting settled and doing really well, I decided to get back into the world of work and considered being a TA. I volunteered at my daughter's school and found that I loved it. After a while, I signed up with an agency and have been in paid work ever since. I love it.
I'm a graduate and had considered Teaching initially, but I actually prefer being a TA - I'm very good at it and love what I do. So imagine my disappointment then, when I started applying for jobs as a TA and being told (always by academies!) that "TA's are Teachers these days!".
Interestingly, they seem happy with unqualified people Teaching, but not with paying qualified rates...how odd!
In a state school, TA are just that: TA's! But academies aren't schools and I would NEVER send my child to one. Any views?
