Friend walked into his PCSE? after getting a 2.1 at uni, no previous teaching experience. He is now doing supply work.

Did he do a year as an NQT (newly qualified teacher) after his PGCE? Or are you saying he couldn't get a placement and went straight to supply work - I didn't think that was possible?

No straight into supply work, he has now landed a job covering someone's maternity leave. He says he gets £110 a day before tax doing standard supply work, if that answers the wage questions. So that puts him on just under 20k before tax.

I suppose one issue worthwhile considering - you know those mouthy stes who spit at you in shopping centres? You'll be working with them every day and you can't tell them to fk off. Personally, I don't think I have the patience to deal with children especially those I don't care about.

This is almost certainly why there is a shortage of secondary school teachers and too any primary and junior teachers. They typically dont start spitting and swearing until in their early teens.

That would make sense, then. Until they give more legal powers to teachers to control a class, I don't see what else you can do.

Nope. Tell me more? Teachers to be issued with tasers? I'm gonna do a PGCE.
