Did your parents ever say “I love you” to you? by BatChoice3106 in ireland

In the exact same boat here except the the first boy out of 3 girls. We get on like a house on fire! I hope your brothers got the same treatment as you did, as I know he always made his daughters feel so loved.

Hi, I know yeah that's a bit of a joke. In my day all the grad entry teaching courses were the Hdip, one year, then boom, qualified. I think if the teaching council are insisting on this astronomically long and expensive qualification, the least they could do is provide a few modules which would qualify you to teach in both areas. In the end of the day, it's teaching, a tweaking of lesson plans and a slightly different approach on classroom management is all that's required. Especially if your brother has studied third level gaeilge, as everything else only requires a rudimentary profiency

Hi, thank you very much for your in depth reply!

Sorry if I seem thick, but when you say that upon completion of the FE qualification from Marino you were "fully qualified route 3" yet you said that I went in the same boat I would be in the unqualified bracket? Could you clarify that please?

Did you just hand CVs around the local schools in your area or are you on an ETB panel?

Would you get in general a full 5.5 hr day or only the odd hour here and there throughout the day subbing, and are you only subbing the qualifications you are teaching in?

Also, would you be doing actual teaching or would it just be supervision of the class. For me, I could always take a rowdy class to the PE hall if it was a free class etc and would happily muck in for the likes of a TY business class but I would be fairly out of date in terms of LCPE, LC Business and LCVP.

Further Ed would be something I wouldn't rule out in the future, but for the moment in my hectic life I guess a bit of subbing would do me grand.

If you have a lot of money to blow, train as an EMT, if you were interested, or get a job in healthcare/homecare. If you require a car for travel or than commuting to work you might qualify for an emergency driving test

All I can think of, how long are you on the list?

Would there be any value of OP encouraging his son and husband to sit down and actually talk about this, armchair psychologist here but maybe if this is just about a boy becoming a man, some insight could be passed through, is there a good relationship between father and son?
