Teacher Open Day Inspiring

👩‍🏫Brilliant road show on how to get into teaching as a profession. Today was in the TUC congress hall near Tottenham Court Road..... very well presented and so respected... got the "I am over 60" fact out of the way hhhhh and the fact I am "WASPI needing to get some paid work as cannot get my state pension...". But there are things I can do .... and teaching assistant part time may be just the thing for now.......Felt quite touched with one teacher when he said - "you are amazing Marjorie and I get the feeling I could just drop you in a classroom and you would get the pupils engaged and they would learn and share a lot with you..." well it is true I have conducted 5 hrs class every week in the past and always the students & me had an amazing time


But I must tell the WASPI women there is no paid training for us we have to pay for the course ourselves!!!!!!!!! yet gov saying we must retrain to get back into work before we can get our state pension!!
There was good a teacher from Sussex was well impressed with Family Link UP he accessed the blog on his ipad in front of me... and is planning to read it over the weekend and see how the children in the schools can help. We can do wonderful things like Flipgrids with classes around the world.. link up to Leen's school in Belgium...... and the children in Turkey.....Family Link Up

Well charged up with today so glad I went...
British Council given me some pointers to get some work with them too....... So come on Lady Marjorie .. keep breathing keep going....!!
