Primary School Teachers

Teaching has to be one of the most rewarding jobs you can do. No two days are the same and there is no other job where you can take 13 weeks paid holiday a year! I studied law at university then did my PGCE the year after. This is a very intensive 1 year course but well worth the pain. I have been teaching in a primary school for 3 years now and absolutely love it. I have done 1 year in Year 1 and 2 years in Year 2. Teachers not only have a fun job but also a wealth of responsibilities. It is extremely physically demanding having 30 children all wanting your attention at the same time. If we were paid the hourly babysitting rate per child im sure ...  Read the complete review

I have been a primary school teacher for almost 4 years. Within those 4 years I have taught in 3 different schools and had 3 very different experiences. Teaching in a primary school is an extrememly rewarding job. Each and every day you have the power to impact and change a young pesrons life for the better. You are the person they often look up to and respect and you are often that child's only positive role model. Each and every day that I go into work I realise the immense power and responsibility I have been given. I have 26 young minds in my class that I have the power to influence. 26 young minds that are ready and willing to absorb whatever I ...  Read the complete review

I have been teaching for a couple of years now, after going back to Uni to do a PGCE. It was the most difficult year of my life, because the course is so difficult and I had to live on toast for nine months. However, becoming a primary teacher is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Lots of people are trying to get into teaching now, because the pay is competitive, and the holidays are good. If that's your only motivation then you should probably forget about it. When you are in the classroom it is so important that you love what you do. Here are some of the pros and cons of teaching. PROS *Working with children. Yes, they can ...  Read the complete review

I have a new job now. I am presently teaching 5th and 6th grade elementary school pupils. I lost my job at the show store for selling narcotics to the customers and I needed a new job. So here I am.

It is part and parcel with tax funded vouchers, the idea being that educational choises are best for the students by having a number of competing schools will make education better for everyone involved. In states that allow charter schools what happens is that any person can dream up a uniqu basis for a charter school and apply for a charter. In NYC there are ...  Read the complete review

As most of you will know, my main function at school is as SENco (Special Educational Needs coordinator) but once a year I get to do what, in my opinion, is one of the best jobs in the school calendar year. I get to train the athletics squad, and take them to compete against the other schools in the borough, at the annual District Sports meeting. Now before I go any further, let me dispel all notions that I am even slightly athletic! Initially, I got the job purely because nobody else wanted it, and as I don’t have a class as such, it was felt that I had more time to devote to it! Huh!! So about seven years ago, I reluctantly took on the mantle of ...  Read the complete review
