I think people find teaching rewarding generally, it won't make you rich but the length of holidays is good, being able to share and impart knowledge, watching your pupils gain confidence and ability before your eyes, all that sort of thing.
Depends on the subject though, teachers of maths tend to get a hard time don't they - which is why it's so hard to recruit them.

those who can, teach Primary or secondary Katie? Primary teachers get paid more and its more competitive to get onto a Primary PGCE, if you choose Secondary you can specialize in one subject unlike Primary were you teach across all the national curriculum.

We had the chance to interact with the children at the uni nursery today as part of our media module, to get us comfortable being in unfamiliar environments and they were just adorable. I love kids and all that but the one I spoke to and played with was really clever for a 3yr old.. I can't imagine how rewarding it must be to teach young children. Go for it Katie!

Yeah, I didn't get it when I was younger but now I see the appeal of teaching, to a greater extent anyway Oh god yes it's hard. Rejoice, oh young folk, in your youth! Soon you'll have to work all the darned time and it sucks balls! Indeed, kids between the ages of 13 and 16 often turn into some form of nether demons! (no offence peeps here!)

Then one of them played in the sand pit and made me a pretend cake out of sand lol

I did my work experience teaching and would still like to be a teacher. I know i am an instructor with the RAF and ATC but only a bit of that is classroom based.
Derbyshire Costabulary are supposed to be sending me on a course so i can join training school as i love teaching.

My parents are retired teachers, I'm actually the first generation not to enter the profession. My father always got frustrated because kids didn't want to learn. Drove him nuts. Whereas my mother always seemed to get the best out of the kids, a lot to do with her approach I think. Sounds like you really enjoy it, so go for it, private sector is less demanding

yamyamyam whatever! go rattle someone else's cage, its getting boring. <yawn> I fnd it a bit tenuous that someone who studying sport has the cheek to attack teachers credentials. Lets face it you are at the bottom of the food chain! As my parents are teachers I'll always defend them, nothing to do with your already rattled cage

Lets face it you are at the bottom of the food chain! As my parents are teachers I'll always defend them, nothing to do with your already rattled cage Attack teachers how exactly! Its a career that i'm considering myself. Studying Sport? its Sport Science actually, does not involve running around the pitch, 'bottom of the food chain' its one of the best courses of its kind in the country, www.sportex.bham.ac.uk/, entry requirments involve a A in a science A level, how did i exactly attack teachers credentials? You're just looking for a fight
