Few teachers I’ve spoken to reckon they come in under prepared because they don’t have classroom experience (and don’t use uni stuff, all they learn is in the classrom). Just seems silly when it’s so important for learning to be able to do the planning and get the experience.
Legit question - why isn’t education/teaching an apprenticeship instead of a 4 year (mostly) theoretical degree?
because they want it to be a respected academic based profession, not just looking after kids

Same thing happened to nurses. Used to be all on-the-job training. Now it’s a uni degree.
Was just thinking about nurses and doctors and their degrees, etc.
don’t tell anyone but it’s very high quality looking after kids
Not sure how that discounts anything I’ve said.
it doesn’t
Because if you didn’t go to uni, you’d miss the most important thing about tertiary education, the beer 🍻🍺
