My Story

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Ive been a teacher in various comprehensive schools in England for the past 6-7 years.

All the schools I have worked in have been individuals. OK they have all got buildings,kids,teachers etc but they also have an individual vibe. When I first got into teaching my Dad said to me that schools where funny places to work. I think I know what he meant. Lots of different staff, hormonally challenged kids,buildings that have come from a different era well worn by thousands of transients. Schools really are funny places.

I got into teaching for a couple of reasons:

I needed a job.

I could go back to uni to get some more qualifications.

Because I wanted a job that I could take anywhere in the country.

To be honest, I also like to preach to a captive audience that I can tell off if they ain’t listening. (Teachers are often insufferable know- it- alls…… )

PS . Notice I haven’t listed a job interview bollocks about the desire to help kids reach their full potential and at the same time forge the seeds of a new society blah blah blah.

Any way, I had a family duty to teach as my parents where both teachers and a brother and niece are both in the profession. so I suppose it was in my blood.

So I found myself at the door to a new chapter in life; I applied and was accepted onto a PGCE course.

My first PGCE placement.

Phot by : mikeg626 Thanks to Mike for the following:

Al Capone was arrested in Philadelphia on a gun charge before he was incarcerated for tax-evasion. For 9 months he called this cell in Eastern State Penitentiary home.

The warden and guards at ESP gave special consideration to Mr. Capone during his stay, permitting him to hang artwork, tables and lamps, a velvet duvet, comfortable chair and an expensive radio… Capone enjoyed listening to waltzes after dinner.

……….And back to my story.

I bet Al Capone had a better time in jail than I did on my first PGCE placement was a girls school that had a vibe like a prison. The staff where wrapped tight. Real anal types. One of the criteria at interview must have been to resemble a cats arse-hole. The biggest arse was my supervisor/mentor……the head of science.She was a power crazed, self opinionated, dictator who would have benefited from a good kicking from the girls. Get the picture - This woman is not on my Christmas card list. In fact I wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire. What did this woman do?…….. Wait for my next post!
