I see a lot of posts here from not very happy teachers. Is it that bad? My parents were teachers and my SIL was until recently. SIL enjoyed it but was asked to teach maths and she's not a maths teacher so she left and is reevaluating stuff now. I get the hard work, marking in the evenings, etc
Am currently a midwife. I have a criminology degree so lots of sociology, psychology, social sciences, law, politics, philosophy in that degree. Also have an advanced diploma and half a masters in midwifery. So again more psychology, sociology and all the health and social care stuff.
20 years ago when doing my first degree I volunteered one afternoon a week for a year in a primary school. I wouldn't be able to provide references for thag though. More recently I taught a GCSE equivalent qualification to local 16-19 year olds. Set the whole thing up, got kids signed up, did all the teaching and marking. 100% of kids completed the course which the local Connexxions place were amazed by as it was in their own time and voluntary, they all passed as well.
Do you think my experience and qualifications would be enough? Do I need secondary school experience and if so do I just contact a local secondary school and ask if I can attend?
