No worries mate.

As you say if teaching was bout the money, i would be doing something else. I was shown this years ago when i was studying to be a teacher, and i still watch it every now and then. Its pure awesome.

teaching is a great profession

until you reach your 50's and you get shipped from school to school each year...

so, i'm 36 now, doesn't leave a lot of time. oh well, take a chance.

Not really. Lots of older teachers have permanency and the ten year tenure only exists in the city in public schools.

i.e. i have permanency at waikerie high and i can stay there for as long as i want. A few teachers at my school have been there 20+ years.

Its much more likely that younger people have back to back contracts for a little while at different schools until they get permanency. But then again, thats only if people are fussy. If you want to go country you will get a permanent job easily.

Gotta agree with that - my girls mother has been at her school for 25+ years and will probably be there until she retires..

my mother has been a teacher for 35 years....

guess whats started to happen to her..

matt, dont think for one second it wont happen to you, my mothers 3 or 4 teacher friends are all going through it now..

sorry to steer the topic off topic like this, but it really disgusts me that my poor mum can be told that a 23 year old teacher with 2 years experience has more to offer her than she does at the last permanent job she went for..

[maccatak11]

If she has been permanent before, how did she lose permanency?

They cant just ship you to a different school for no reason, the education system doesn't work like that man.
