Cont from last thread
So I am now a qualified physics and maths teacher (teaching was one of the few things I actually did really well in 18-25; got the top grade in my cohort). I like helping working class lads with maths and physics and feel like it is improving their chances.
The workload with teaching is phenomenal; used to work until like 1 am a couple of nights just to frantically get shit done. It's not difficult work; there's just a lot of it. 40% of the trainee science teachers dropped out despite many of them having firsts from Russell group unis. I got a 2:1 in my degree but my mentors seemed to like me for some reason. Could just be because there's a dearth of physics teachers and they sort of need me right now.
However, people don't like/respect teachers that much. They think we're all losers who get loads of holidays or dumbasses who couldn't make it in academia and that we're just glorified childminders or that our jobs will be replaced by computers/youtube within the next decades.
The first criticism is bullshit but the last one may be true. Teaching might not be a career in the UK a couple of decades. There are lot of very well paying and interesting jobs in private boarding schools abroad that would be cool to get; a lot of single teachers without kids leave the UK for those jobs. Reckon as a qualified physics teacher i would have a good shot.
On the other hand I have found out from careers advice that I would be qualified for a role as 'education and training officer'; you train up normal soldiers into being officer material. I am used to teaching good council estate lads maths and physics. I love boxing and fitness so why not?
Seems like being an army officer would be interesting and get a lot more respect.

Will never happen. Half of the point of teachers is to act as child minders while the parents are at work.

Yeah I know that but you can get one teacher to mind a class of 50 who are all at computers working through online question exercises and watching instructional videos. That's the future of education tbqh lad.
The kids I taught learn a lot from youtube videos; they are so used to watching them. You'll just have one teacher or minder going round and helping them do work on the computer.

desu teaching is shit now cause parents won't discipline their kids. General public also think learning is dumb desu with stupid shit like "why does math matter if a bricklayer makes 50k a year! Unis a waste of time etc."
