I never understood how anyone could handle teaching. I'm sorry it wasn't for you, but frankly it's weird that you (or anyone) even tried. Too many kids are arseholes to make dealing with the rest of them tolerable; then you have the straightjacket of actually having to teach them stuff that they need to get taught. And schools are full of internal politics and all that crap.
A few of my friends are teachers, and I'm in awe of the fact that they don't go insane every single day.

Teaching can be fun, but only if those you are teaching want to be there. I've worked with youth in scouts for the last 12 years and while a few get sent by parents the ones who get the most out of it and learn the skills needed for what we do, climb, canoe kayak camp and so on, can be a joy to work with.

I am feeling significantly better today. Not least because I have decided that teaching's not for me and jacked. It's horrible. You have to be a certain sort of person I think. Still, lesson learned. Ironically. You did it for about 1 month?! Nah. A whole term. One of my intake walked after day three. It's not for everyone. |

It just seems like doggy daycare and talk about joyless! It's bloody heartbreaking to see the good kids trying to get on and being dragged down by a few weak students or those with alleged SEND conditions. |

Who me? I almost got to shag Miss Geddes at a Christmas party, but someone opened the cupboard door.

I've tutored and taught English, which wasn't bad. If I taught at a school full time I'd either lose my mind or get fired for smacking around bratty kids.

Possibly literally, given the state of Britain's classrooms. |

Yeah - doing any job that involves being around children would be my idea of hell. My brother is currently doing his teacher training and I think he is mad. |

My sister, my aunt and my cousin (heads of department all) got out of teaching for exactly the same reason: virtually no actual teaching and a paperwork mountain that eclipses that of the modern Civil Service.
Moreover, being caught between the politicians (kicking it around like a football) and the toxic combination of an increasingly empowered parent/child dynamic seems to have left education in a far more parlous state than when I were a lad.

Yeah, it was the blatant hypocrisy that I found depressing. Teaching is bound up in it's own world of silly academic research which is "underpinned" by the theories of a number of (almost explosively left-wing, Jewish intellectuals who seem to have made this their own cult.) It's largely horseshit but it's treated like an article of faith and applied religiously (except in subjects where it's very important not to be seen to be dropping the ball performance-based.)
