Before having the children I worked for over seven years as a ks2 teacher but now my youngest DD is about to start school I am contemplating applying for a job at my local school as a teaching assistant. I have been a SAHM for the last 4 yrs and feel that this post (7.5hrs within school time) could be ideal. I wouldn't be doing it for the money especially but more as a gentle introduction back into education, looking at returning to teaching part-time when the children are older. One of the main reasons is that I live in a very rural location and it is almost impossible to get any before and after school childcare.
Just wondered if anyone has experience of doing thisas I know that normally it's the other way round ie people work as teaching assistants and then train to teach.

Have any teachers returned to work as a teaching assistant after having children - what are the pitfalls?
