Good luck. |
Let me explain. I'll use 2 names, A and B as examples.
A joins as a PE teacher and B as an EMS teacher. Both A and B are in the PGDE track at
NIE.
Upon graduation, A and B are posted to the same sch, teaching the same level, Primary 4.
Everyday, A (Geo 3) just gathers his class, blows his whistle for a few periods and
is back in the staffroom at 1pm, enjoying .
Meanwhile, B (also Geo 3), has just endured a class of 40 pupils who never seem to hand up their corrections on time.
B also has to set exam papers, praying that the current 6th draft is his last and finish marking 3 classes of math and sci class/homework.
The point I'm making is, it's better to join as a PAM teacher rather than an EMS.
A and B, both GEO 3, are getting the same pay and same holidays but A is able to leave
school everyday at 1.45pm, has no marking to do at home.no book check. No exam setting.
B has to lug home a ton of marking, set stupid never ending exam papers and still chase pupils for corrections because of termly book check!
whoever taught of this "specialisation" for teachers needs to jump off a building.
