Thread Name: BS: Getting out of teaching
Subject: RE: BS: Getting out of teaching
Try tutoring at a local college. You get motivated adult students, and almost no paperwork.

And which earth are you on?

Classes for adults mostly finished years ago. The students in FE colleges nowadays tend to be those who the schools want to get rid of!!

The money and conditions are worse than teaching. The paperwork is half as much again of that of a teacher - so many other agencies to satisfy.

People teaching well-motivated apprentices need specific craft skills, you cannot teach plumbing without being an expert plumber.

It's one of the basic problems, what plumber in his or her right mind would cut their salary in half to become a teacher?
