I wish I could remember more German from HS 10 years ago and took more Latin classes.   It wouldn't hurt to learn another new language either, but probably easier to brush up and learn more about one I have already learned some of.

Finnish isn't Germanic though, It's Finno-Ugric.

I took German in HS too btw. Ich ube geige.

I got into the top set for german, then spent my GCSE years going backwards and pretending to understand all this stuff, basically by bluffing. I cant believe a bloke would start playing games like that, it wouldnt happen now I dont think. But then i dont know what sort of school you went to.

It was just your average school- it wasn't particularly rough, there was a decent mix of people there (obviously some chavs).  Although we did seem to have a fair number of burnt out teachers, which is probably why he got away with it. I didn't particularly enjoy school though, my friends were the kind that liked to 'buy' popularity for a short while by sharing gossip about me and I was too blind to their motives to realise that.

When I catch people trying to do something like that to me, i tend to have fun at their expense. Did you stay on at school for A-levels or did you quit at GCSE level?

I have A-levels in Sociology, history, human biology and psychology.   I only did 2 at school because I did a part work placement as a class room assistant so I'd have some experience to help me get a place on the teaching degree.  Now I'm a full time parent- my youngest was 4 yesterday.
A lot of things put me off teaching but my main gripe was all the best practice bullshit, some of it didn't make logical sense to me and I knew it would annoy the fuck out of me.

I think being a full time parent would scare the shit out me, and id get annoyed too easily. I would probably turn the best practise stuff into a game of how to avoid it if I became a teacher, although i might follow it when ofsted show up. I might go into teaching if everything else goes to pot, it would be an easy carreer for me, and they are desperate for science graduates. The downside is i could get bored easily.

3 A's in theory. If i dont get them i may be able to negociate. I might get my results early, i am planning to send a clever email to the admissions tutor to find out before results day whether or not I got in (the unis get the results early)

you're never bored teaching, that's one thing it's got going for it.  but you do have to learn that not every kid works at the pace youd like them to, hadron, amongst about a million other things.  it's really not an easy career, i can assure you.

It depends what subject you take and how quickly you can climb the ladder. I just think teaching in a school would bore me intellectually, you never get to go deep into a subject. The other thing that would annoy me is that too many kids are too dim for me to like them.

Hmm, i dont think uni students would be too bad to lecture at the right uni, i am just not sure what I would research. As for the dim kids, if i end up having to deal with them, they are going straight under hypnosis, end of.

I would probably turn the best practise stuff into a game of how to avoid it if I became a teacher, although i might follow it when ofsted show up. I might go into teaching if everything else goes to pot, it would be an easy carreer for me, and they are desperate for science graduates. The downside is i could get bored easily.

you're never bored teaching, that's one thing it's got going for it.  but you do have to learn that not every kid works at the pace youd like them to, hadron, amongst about a million other things.  it's really not an easy career, i can assure you.
It depends what subject you take and how quickly you can climb the ladder. I just think teaching in a school would bore me intellectually, you never get to go deep into a subject. The other thing that would annoy me is that too many kids are too dim for me to like them.

then teaching really isn't for you.  we can't all be little geniuses.
Exactly, which it is why its a desperate back up plan, should the need arise. I wouldnt complain about uni level though.

Hmm, i dont think uni students would be too bad to lecture at the right uni, i am just not sure what I would research. As for the dim kids, if i end up having to deal with them, they are going straight under hypnosis, end of.

Maybe at a top ranked school it's different,
but they're pretty lousy, even at research
institutes. I'm shocked by the crap that
gets into school.

any teaching is a difficult job.  the pointless paperwork alone would drive you insane.

I kinda get a kick out of it.
The mechanical repetitive tasks.

anything but, i'm afraid.  but really, it's too tedious to talk about in the school holidays...  ::)

I think I could get into a pretty prestigous university myself. Teaching american undergrads is almost equivalent to Alevels, doing degree over here is almost equveilent to a masters. We are starting to go the american way over here though.
Lucifer, I dont think paperwork would be a problem for me. Half will go in the shredder, and the other half will be done slopplily, should I become a teacher. I do see now how an educational psycholoigist has several raems on me though.

then you'd be sacked and quite rightly so.
