not ALL of us are arrogant.

you're right, apologies.. there are some really nice people out there doing PE teaching... yes they are a minority, but they're there!

 

[s_kisses]

PrincessSJ i see in ur sig ur also doing teaching... as a minority teachers are caring people dare i say esp. pe students because of the nature of what they study. i dont think anyone doing my course is arrogant they genuinely want to be there learning about teaching kids how to be healthy and active etc, ppl dont realise how important it actually is..
and to anyone thinking of studying anything to do with pe or teaching, go 4 it!

There's arrogant bludgers in every course. Teaching is no exception to this rule because of its relatively low UAI requirement.

Arrogance is really all that bad, and if you're going to be a teacher you have to have the confidence to believe that your students will benefit from what you are doing, if a little arrogance is what it takes for someone to have that confidence, go for it, live it up. And while we all joke about bludgers, if the job gets done in the end, who cares about the effort you put into the process?

I don't think the PE's are any different to any other teaching group, it's just that someone mentioned them. Next time we'll all be laughing at the primary teachers and how little work they really do.

some teaching courses require uai's of high 80s low 90s if my memory serves me correctly... but yeah, definitely arrogant bludgers in every course, that's their choice..

you're right s_kisses, we've all worked really hard to get to teaching... it just seems that some people (and I'm stereotyping here on a small sample) choose to bludge once they get there....
but there's arrogant bludgers in every course I know.. I've run into them in primary as well..

@ rific.. we really shouldn't be laughing at any teachers and the little work they do... teaching as a profession is scrutinized enough!

@ jumb.. low UAI requirement? some of us worked fucking hard for 80s and 90s to get into these teaching courses!

I some how bludged a low 80's mark. Natural skill > hard work.

Also, I'm only going from what I know of other universities, which give out teaching degrees like they're arts degrees.

I know a girl doing primary teaching in newcastle, for one of her courses she had to learn an instrument.

Also, let's not forget UNCLE is only 3 years. There are some universties with 4 years.

Newcastle is four years as well you nong!

It is too. Still, there's something about learning instruments and painting pictures for course work that makes me think you're a bludger.

I stole 3 pieces of MDF from outside maths. they just had piles of it. it makes a good bedside table

thats awesome

 

[hipsta_jess]

This may be an extremely dumb question, but *why* would piles of MDF be laying around outside maths?

If I could be bothered, I'd yell at you

 

[s_kisses]

agreed lol

i give up on trying to convince people that not all of us learning how to become a teacher are bludgers. teachers put a shitload of work into what they do. sure, learning how to play an instrument or paint a picture or whatever may seem bludgey, its the rewards at the end that count - teaching primary kids these sorts of things is rewarding cause its the greatest stage of learning and seeing them achieve these things is kinda cool

they were refitting the front benches, projector stand things and i guess that the mdf that was so conveniently laying about was from one of the old benches etc.

a big fat ditto to that!

It's so so rewarding when my work kids achieve even the smallest little milestones.. they're so proud of themselves and that makes me proud of them! And thats a good feeling!
