Its something i have wanted to do since i was a little girl. I have worked hard, i got 6 GCSEs and 3 A-Levels, i am on an english and creative writing graduate degree in my final year, but it isnt enough!
First i heard of a thing called Teach First who offered on the job training and experience working towards getting a PGCE qualification. I dont fit their criteria as i only ended up with 180 UCAS points and they need you to have 300.
Next i did a google search and looked on loads of other ways of getting into teaching. The train while being paid ones want you to have 3 years work experience .... how do you get this if schools need you to pass requirements for that as well, and while studying a degree and working to pay bills? secondly they offered a training way in which is unpaid and with a fee. Requirements i also dont have for that, and funding i would need which as i have been at university for 4 years, i am not entitled to.
Soooo what am i supposed to do now. Requirements are:
- 300 UCAS points
- Grade C english gcse
- Grade C maths gcse
- Grade C science gcse (for teaching early years)
- a 2:1 degree or equivelent
- and in some cases 3 years experience in schools
- 180 UCAS points
- Grade B in English GCSE
- Grade D in maths GCSE
- Grade C in science GCSE
- working at a 2:1 degree level (graduate next year)
- experience in catering, bar work and waitressing, modelling and promotions and not in schools
- an extra 4 GCSEs and 3 A levels which are apparently irellevant
Fuck it .... i shall just be a writer and will not pass my wisdom on to the world via a classroom, but instead through the words of my novels.
I cant be the only one in this position right? help a sister out!!!
