Even more lucky you

I am primary trained but teach Year 7 at the moment 

Actually since this topic has been opened let me say that our education system is [censored] up beyond belief. I read today that Australia is falling behind on all educational measures - doesn't surprise me at all.

Being a teacher is the best way to live out your footballing fantasies by coaching kids and getting a day off school every few weeks. I've been doing it for 20 years.

Yep.

Yes

You'd think with all these bloody teachers I'd learn something from this forum....

Son of a teacher, was a longtime spouse of a teacher, big chunk of friends are teachers. Enrolled in secondary teaching... but they all warned me off it in time, for which I'm thankful.

Also did a lot of time in education stats for federal government.

They really are as bad as the stereotype up there, not a deep breath worth of pedagogical knowledge among them, and the bureaucracy really needs to leave teachers the ____ alone.

 

No but my dad was and out of us three boys, two of us are!

one like me is a keen Dees supporter, the other one has no interest at all in afl.

 

I teach primary in NZ
