Becoming a primary school teacher? Advice please!

[NancyFrank]

I am thinking of applying to do primary education at university and looking for others experiences of both the university course and the job itself.
I'm currently a nursery nurse so do work with children, I work around 10 hours a day with no break so am used to long days but wondering on average (if you are a teacher) what time you get into work and what time you leave? I'm well aware it is not 9-3.30! How bad is the amount of paper work? I'm attending an open day at the university but anyones experiences/advice regarding the course would be great too!

but what you have got to remember is proving children are learning takes as much time again as teaching in the first place, ll the evidence and records etc, in extreme cases you cannot as much as talk to a child in a lesson without making a note of what was said, then all those notes could need writing up - I say in extreme cases, because this is just an example, I have been in a school that required this, but I didn't stay long!
