| Just reading any article in the Guardian about teaching in the UK will put you well and truly off the idea! It isn't just the badly-behaved kids, the reluctant parenting, or the regulations about controlling the class. It's also the demands from inspectors, constantly changing curricula, oppressive paperwork, long work hours, prejudice from the public ("Your holidays are too long and you only work a few hours a day" and "I went to school so I know what makes a good teacher and you're not it"), and the general lack of respect and support from all sides. I can only imagine the similar circumstances but with an Australian, Bogan element added must be quite a challenge. |
I have no practical experience of what it is like teaching in UK schools, but, I've read enough about it, both here and elsewhere, to gain a pretty dim view of it. Anyway, in Australia, it's a minimum of four years' study to get certified as a teacher and I just found out the other day that around 40% of new teachers leave the profession within the first year. That should tell anyone pretty much everything that they need to know..... |
