Matt, how is it that you always seem to be on the receiving end of everything in here?

What on earth is a PGCE?

A 'post graduate certificate of education'
basically an intensive course of teacher training for a year after your degree.

The only way I would teach is at somewhere like CH where the kids are halfway disposed to learn. I see the way that my daughters' school teachers are treated and you can forget it. No way am letting the little so and so's treat me like that!

Yeah I'm doing my Primary PGCE - I wouldn't ever want to teach people who might know more than me - mind you some of my Year 5's are bit quicker than me at Maths but I think I am disguising it well!! Am currently on placement in a school in Avenham in Preston. Very nasty area - one of the kids in my class, a nine year old, got arrested a couple of weeks ago for setting light to some sheds and veggie patches! He's such a nice lad though once you get chatting to him - he couldn't believe that I have got to my age without ever being in a fight - it's like he didn't understand the concept of not fighting!
I think we were all very lucky at CH as I know some of my friends came from areas like these and would have turned out a lot worse if they hadn't been taken out of such settings.
(just remembered that I'm meant to be talking about CH hence the 'big up to CH comment at the end here!!)

I would definatly become a primary school teacher years 1/2! I have the same fear as Alice, of teaching older kids and them knowing way more than me-how embarrassing!
I think i will do my teaching qualification in a few years maybe but not sure Ilove what i do now but Iwould like to teach!

Well since you have a degree in English, perhaps you could teach English? or become a PE teacher. You can chase me around the gym anytime
