Been loving my 3 days a week in class, the children are brilliant and the teachers were very welcoming. Can't wait to get started in August. Good on you. Both my late parents were teachers and a few friends are current teachers and another is in teaching training now. Tough profession and not appreciated and valued enough IMO.

That's the Scottish Education system sorted oot. Le's move on to the next SNPBAD topic. Mind you, if the next generation of kids come through the system not being able to rite, read or count, we will know who to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with them not being able to write or count. Sure, they need to be able to read, but every single one of them walks around with a calculator and typewriter permanently attached to their body. And, the wee fukers can type at least 3 times faster than I can write. Good luck, you're going to need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am toying with the idea and if i was offered voluntary just now i'd take and do what killiefaetheferry has done. My mum's a teacher, my aunt was, my sister is, my brother is, 4 of my cousins are, so i think it's in the family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
