I'm training to be a teacher. I think I should get full governmental support. Education is one of the bedrocks of society; it's something everyone needs. Lots of people argue that students should pay their own way, but why should i get into £30k's worth of debt to help everyone else, and everyone else's children? I understand that people doing philosophy or art degrees should pay for themselves because they serve no purpose, but people training to be doctors, teachers and everything else that I've missed out are doing their degree to help other people! No doubt the majority of people will disagree with me...
Nope ******** to doctors. Don't need 'em and never will. And don't get me started on teachers. Six weeks off?
Nah I don't need to pay someone to tell me the car I don't have is broken and I can't afford to fix it. Never met a university educated mechanic either - is that Kwik Fit?
RE: what about mechanics? The general mechanics, fixing cars type of thing? Like in a garage? People do an aprenticeship at college, whilst getting paid... I don't get paid for my teaching practice in schools, despite actually teaching. If i did, i wouldn't need to "scrounge"...
Kwik Fit Bunch of overpaid monkeys. All they can do is tyres, but the leader of the pack can do brakes too. The world needs mechanics, maybe not as much as doctors, nurses, and teachers. But they're still in demand.
RE: Kwik Fit There is a proper type of mechanical degree, but it's not your average kwik-fitters that do it. <a href="http://www.ucas.com/dunit/S21H300.html"> Mechanics @ Sheffield Hallam</a> Course Content: Course content Year one *engineering principles *professional engineering formation *maths *computing *engineering materials and manufacturing processes *engineering and the environment Year two core units *professional development and pre-placement preparation *thermodynamics and fluid dynamics *engineering mechanics *engineering design *engineering instrumentation and control *industrial studies *quantitative engineering analysis *computer aided design *design for manufacture Year two options *robotic technology and computer aided machinery or computer aided engineering or choice from specialist units Year three *industrial training placement Final year core units *professional development and project planning *engineering design case study *finite element analysis for mechanical engineering *advanced engineering design *structural and component integrity *project *industrial energy management *industrial and business systems *dynamics and control Final year options *acoustics or materials engineering or choice from specialist units *quality or finite difference techniques or choice from specialist units Specialist units: Specialist subjects available include *automotive engineering *business *control engineering *environmental management
Are you going to be a Primary School teacher? or a real one, playing about in sand all day does not constitute a profession
RE: Are you going to be a Primary School teacher? I'm specialising in French, for ages 5 - 11. I assure you, there'll be no sand involved.
RE: Can I just point out to anyone "watching" They should all be strung up and whipped with four pound hammers.
Doctors/nurses/Teachers Should get full grants as they are providing a public service - if they then choose to work in the private sector they should be made to pay it all back.
yeah it all gets paid back in taxes for most ex students. trust me i know. i got the full grant just in case ya were wondering i also got free school dinners at school. should i have got them? also the student loan company is a state run company so the interest on the loans also goes back to the state
