hoping there are some teachers out there who can help - or who can direct me to other sources of info please!

I am thinking about retraining to become a teacher (secondary level). I have literally just starting thinking about it so have done NO research, and am about to scuttle off to further reaches of the internet but wanted to ask here first for advice on

a) is this a good idea? I love the principle, I think I'd be good at it - but am scared by thoughts of tough inner-city sink schoolkids gobbling up the likes of me for breakfast

b) is it possible to train whilst being a lone parent to an under-2 ds and working p/t in a completely unrelated job too? and how long might it take me to train?

Really grateful for your experience. I will be back later to check in as I'm off to get on with the research right now.

Thank you.

Thanks all. Have found a link from MMU to the IOE offering a social sciences PGCE.

Heated, thanks. I'm in SW London, Wandsworth / Lambeth way. What is an ITT programme? There are a lot of acronyms to wade through!
