[MENTION=34950]crimmy[/MENTION], haha, I didn't mean I agree that you don't have a life, silly! I meant that of course the puppy cried, and of course he gave in, and of course giving in is only going to make it harder.

I stated my opinion, as I am entitled to. I did not state that as a fact. Who goes through the schooling and effort to get a teaching license and give it up so easily to get a radio job ???

To be fair to TullyLovesDrew, it is far too easy for people to get a teaching degree in Australia and why so many end up back on Centrelink after completing it or attempting to get into another career like Mik is.

Too many, the vast majority to be precise, take on English, Phys Ed and History as their majors because it is relatively easy to go down that path rather then attempt Science and Maths majors which is where there's a dearth of teachers around the country.

But there's a strong aversion(fear?) to that subject matter probably because the content is more rigorous and challenging and why we get so many qualified teachers doing something completely different to their qualifications as there's an oversupply of 'English' qualified teachers.

Mik strikes me as one of those students who went into an Education degree not fully knowing what teaching really entails and it's no surprise she's turned her back on it when reality set in.

I think the most important thing to note is that Mikkayla made herself unemployable as a secondary teacher for the next five years or so. As to what you're saying about teacher training, you are making generalisations. did you know that the mark to get into PDHPE is higher than for any maths or science education degrees? And given the complexity of the HSC PDHPE course for the HSC, if you score in the top band in the course you are awarded the same number of points towards your ATAR as the top band in Physics. As for training English teachers, some unis are incredibly demanding (as they should be) and others are not. But because as you rightly point out, there is a dearth of science and maths teachers, it's those courses that often take students with lower grades. And don't even start me on the marks for primary teaching.

Mikkayla is 24 if she was schooled to be a teacher for 5 years, that takes her back to 19, most HS grads here are 18, so the most she could have done is teach for 1 year is that right?

Actually at the uni I'm assuming Mikkayla went to all forms of Education is a 4 year degree. Also if she's an English teacher that means she would have had to major in English, History, Geography and most likely Drama as well. She is certainly a qualified teacher, and it certainly wouldn't have been an "easy" qualification to get given the work load and various majors on top of her Education-based courses and practicals.
 
I'm glad mikkayla is choosing to do something else in her life. I'm glad she isn't wanting to do teaching if that isn't something she enjoys. Tbh, I'd prefer a teacher who loves her job and does have a passion for it to teach my children. As a parent, I believe a good teacher makes a huge difference for any child. For me a good teacher is one that wants to be a teacher. Mikkayla does not want to be one so for that I'm glad she found another career choice.

Every day people realise they wasted their time on a degree they don't need or no longer want. I finished a business degree and worked to further my business skills for a while. I hate it! After having children I realised I wanted to become a primary school teacher. I know it's what I should have studied but for a while I lost myself to the thought of making money and so on. But I'm studying it now and am thrilled to have come to this choice. My business degree is still being used for the time being though, so at least it's not a complete waste.

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect. You only need two 'methods' and these days some universities offer a double English method. That said, I suspect Mikkayla could well have done Drama as her second method ;)
