    Im a college lecturer. Also nurse but then did teaching qual. I love it. I teach 16-20 year old girls. I would never be a school teacher however. My hubby is and I think I've got best option.
    Lots of pros. e.g. never a dull day, always have a laugh, varied job, holidays good,
    Not many cons- however- tiring, planning at home, OFSTED inspections.

    I went to a wedding of someone who left my Y6 class in 1990 - I taught her 2 brothers and almost her sister before I left......I was her suprise guest....used to se her parents in Sainsburys and exchanged emails once - what a lovely gift she said when she saw me!

    I am SO angry the TDA have cut all the training for the support workforce - all this talk about not a REAL teacher doesnt help - if you help children to learn then you are doing a worthwhile job!
