My personal answer would be "I want the fucking great holidays" but that probably wouldn't go down too well (though you know they're all thinking it).
My mum was a primary teacher for 22 years, and sad to say her experiences weren't entirely positive. But things are beginning to come on, in terms of teacher support, classroom support etc. I went to a teaching/healthcare-focused Uni and lived with primary teachers in my first year. They worked hard and played hard. Had to be sensible in their placement weeks and they spent a lot of time planning, but that's good training for the job of course! They still found plenty of time to go out, have a laugh etc :thumb:
