I have been thinking seriously about my future heading. Jobs are harder to find at the moment, as more people tend to stay in their present roles. Although I have been updating my skills, they don't seem to be what employers are needing. So, I have revisited an idea I had several years ago - Teaching. But that could be six years ahead, because I left school with just CSE's it means that at 46 years old, I have got to get some GCSE's. Helppppppppp, I've seen how my two eldest have managed and got stressed out with exams, so how will I manage? So, after 2 years doing the Access course, it would then mean 4 years at University, and how the hell would I manage that. I think part of my problem is a lack of confidence.
So, baring all that in mind, I have to focus on the fact that I want to teach, I have a passion to teach, especially Infant ages and I want to make a difference.
So, I will do the two week "Taster Session" that my local college are putting on and see where we go from there - wish me luck. In fact if any teachers are reading this and have some advise to give me please go ahead.

Welcome back. You may recall that I taught for 42 years, from the school new entrants to pre- university level. My specialist teaching was chemistry, physics, and biology.
