Secondary teacher getting TA job in primary

[nottonightjoesphine]

Whaddaya reckon to my chances folks? I'm a teacher of sociology in a secondary school. There's a long story really but the shorty one is that I hate it. Hate the demands on my family time, the sleepless nights, the scrutiny, the relentless sense of fear.
I've seen a job for a full time TA in a local primary school. Financially we can take the hit but do you think they would even bother giving me an interview? Never worked with small kids before, never even did any teaching practice in a primary school.

I need some good news people. Would they touch me? Are there any heads on here who could give me some insight?

The weird thing is I used to teach the literacy hour in my first job with year 7's and was quite good at it! Grrr but could I think of a specific bloody lesson? Erm no....it was 10 years ago!!!! I am absolutely staggered at the questions I was being asked and it's only hours later that I am realising how tough they would be for a level 2 who hadn't been a teacher!!!!

I got it y'all!!!!

Well done .

Hurrah! Well done. Well worth all the swotting up on phonics

It sooo was! Thanks to you for your help! I appreciate it hugely!xxx

Well done and congratulations

Great well done

Congratulations! (coming late to this so getting the whole story in one bite)
