because the pay is so poo poo? I looked at using my bachelor of pharmacy to get into being a high school teacher doing science but It’d take ten years to get to about 75% my current wage and then never get better

evil_bunnY posted:Childhoot mortality prevention sucked the fun outta EVERYTHING!! i've said it before but i still believe that the fundamental parenting job is to expose your child to an appropriate amount of risk. Like you have to allow them to experience the real world, but not so much that they are permanently damaged. A little temporary damage is fine and is actually desireable in some/many cases. the trick, of course, is knowing the difference.

depends on your qualification but if you take teaching as a pg dip which u would have to do you will start /end p high on the pay scale. teachers union is not bad, at least compared to other unions here. its been like 80+ for quite a while though, I think the bump from 80 to over 90 was maybe recent for regular teachers

hmm I had looked at doing it thru some system that did like 3 months high intensity teacher training then into the deep end teaching at low decile schools for 3 years and then boom ya can do what you want I was intrigued by the notion of having holidays, but at the time concluded I couldn’t afford to bridge the gap. I could maybe look at it again when I move in with partner

in the US teachers are largely treated with contempt and paid accordingly obviously a good society would treat teachers like wee gems and pay it well so it was a job the brightest and best would aim to do but it is not

echinopsis posted:hmm do a proper postgraduate diploma if you go for it. looks like otago does it by distance learning / part time even. you will have to do practicum at some point though and get like 20k of student loans lol. and don;t be liek my mate that did all his training then never got a proper job and might have to retrain, there's a time limit to complete your registration having holidays is really nice for kids and makes it a lot easier too not having to send them off to some holiday program

echinopsis posted:in the US teachers are largely treated with contempt and paid accordingly it is so hosed up. teaching kids should pay better than software dev, have better hours, and should keep the generous "don't have to work all summer" perk and everyone should be jockeying to get a cushy teaching job and falling back to the idiotic industry jobs as a last resort if they weren't good enough candidates. A functional government could absolutely make this happen and churn out generations of brilliant children educated by bright and impassioned professionals. But instead the candidate pool is 95% people who were literally too stupid to realize that a career in education hasn't been sustainable in probably 40 years

if the bullshit keeps piling up in teaching I’m not sure how much longer my wife will stick with it, and she is the kind of fantastic teacher that you absolutely want in a classroom.

argh gently caress my ex wife is a bitch I sent my kids home in an uber from the wedding I went to so they were at home for about an hour and a half before we got back home and she thinks it was super dangerous to do so and threatening to file a police report, and claim I can’t be trusted with the kids etc poo poo like this is why I am glad I am not with her, and just makes me want to get as far away from her as possible. no one else I have talked to about it thinks what I did was bad or dangerous etc. in the past I would have apologised etc etc but thing is I don’t want to bow down and apologise for something I don’t feel bad about i’m mad as heck at her for trying to blow the situation up like this.
