Is your job incompatible with being a mum of 2 young dcs? Ive just applied to a local (outstanding ofsted inspected 2015) secondary school to volunteer and assist the Maths teacher and they were very receptive to talking to me. It all seems doom and gloom on mumsnet but surely in a well led and academic school there must be some upsides? I feel too much of a waste of brain (for society) being at home. I love being a SAHP and will continue to do so for a bit longer but think I'm only 40. I don't have enough for a pension and need to do something now or at least edge into something meaningful when my dcs become more independent. My DCs are 6 and 8.
I have a STEM background and thinking of teaching Maths but only have A level maths grade B, and a 2:2 in Chemistry . 18 years working in software and business.
Any thoughts? Any positivity to encourage a newbie entrant?
