‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ We probably all remember being asked this when we were children.
It’s a reasonable question but it implies two things. It suggests that we reach a point when we have ‘grown up’ and that once we get there our careers are suddenly secure, stable and fulfilling.
However Now Teach is based on the idea that this is an outdated view of the way our lives pan out. We are all living longer. We all know the problems of an ageing population, but we forget to tell ourselves the good news: we are astonishingly lucky in that we can expect so many more years of life than our ancestors.
A whole new generation has silently appeared. They are not young, but they are most certainly not old. We want these people to embrace the idea that after decades in one line of work, it is desirable to retrain. We want to bring their skills and experience to those who could most benefit.
Now Teachers are changing lives teaching in schools across England. Join Today.

Why would anyone want to become a teacher ? 🥴 I dreamt of becoming a teacher when I was younger but then I changed my mind .. ewww 🤮
Marriage with me

I have no compassion whatsoever for teachers because of the lack of diversity that found in the profession.
What has teacher burnout got to do with diversity? You’re talking utter crap
It’s an utterly awful job.
She was so brilliant when she was with FT and did regular segment on BBC podcasts taking the piss from management.
He forgot to mention you have to be woke
i love justine shackleton
Your KZread channel have lots of videos but lack of subscriber & views. Do you want to grow your channel by increasing views and subscribers ?
I’m a qualified teacher. I would rather clean toilets than do this job. It’s over bureaucratic and woke. Stop politicising and start teaching.
Fantastic, Matt! Tell me a bit more?
aye can i get her snap? she used to work in my school
Hello mam Lucy kellaway I am keenly interested to teach Geography in uk Will you help me for the same?
Bonuses? Please. It's time to reform schools, including the system. That's why teachers are declining. It's the workload in teaching that puts them off. We have split the education in two, and ask the question, are you an AI, technology teacher or a traditional teacher, cause you can't to both, as we said workload.
The fact that they stuggle to find maths and science teachers because they have plany of better paid options elsewhere just goes to show that pay is obviously a factor. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be paid more!
Thank you sir
Great stuff! We need more teachers like this
these types of stories are stupid. yes, wall street banker moves to country and becomes bee keeper. because he has 50 million in the bank, he can afford to fuck off.
I quit teaching, as a maths teacher. It is not about the low pay but the pressure and abusive atttidute of senior lendership. Teaching will always be my dream job but I am exhausted of being oppressed and abused by the senior members of staff at schools. Teachers deserve more respect and autonomy, rather than repeatedly reported and emailed for nonsense reasons. Senior leaders use the term “professionalism “ to disguise their immoral acts . I would call it “professionalism for blackmailing classroom teachers “. I started as a supply but even as a supply , I experienced the similar problems. Senior leaderships at schools are very imperious, disrespectful and not well trained. Most of the senior leaders lack of quality in terms of human relationships.their only motivation is to have higher salary but they’re extremely insufficient for their position. They bully teachers and this is the reason why teachers quit in the first few years of their career. Headteachers work as if they are delivering the commands of the government instead of listening to the staff working under their supervision. The honorable position would be to stand against anything morally unacceptable imposed by the government, even at the expense of loosing their jobs.

Why would science or maths graduates become teachers and earn 10-25% of what they could get elsewhere? Just cut the crap and get rid of the golden handcuffs arrangements for new teachers and just fucking pay us properly. If MPs get almost £90K then that should be the going rate to teach.
Being a medical doctor especially pediatrician is another way of having purpose of your life. For me there's nothing more fulfilling than to see the child that you've saved.
My teachers were just fancy babysitters who got in the way of my learning
Oh be quiet.
I would love to go back into some form of teaching...it's just whether I'd be of benefit
Internet schooling arises
In Israel there are almost no male Teachers in Primary or Secondary Schools. This is a result of lack of respect given to Teachers, poor pay, large numbers of students in most classrooms, lots of unchallenged and bored students and the demands put on Teachers ......especially those who take their profession seriously. The emphasis on Hi -Tech Professions where BIG money can be made is something that other Professions find hard to compete with. It seems like On-Line Teaching in a School environment is the only way out for the short term at least .......with Teachers being more like Social Workers and Info Source Directors than Teachers.
His pitch on teaching, absolute garbage.
I was going to say that there is no better career, but I think that it would be much more accurate to say that there is no better way to spend your life.
I would definitely love to become a maths or History teacher and i would definitely work at her school.
I am considered a old new teacher! A career changer - late, however. I'm 53 and in school now to become a teacher. I found your channel and quickly subscribed. Thank you for sharing what I already know to be a valuable asset to the educational system. - Older Teachers.
Ha ha. Not me. But I really want to speak to ex-teachers. If you know the other John Blake. Find out why he blocked me on Twitter. Thanks
Comprehensive schools could have spent the last 50 years making themselves more like private schools, not through more money but by adopting their values. Instead they've done the opposite.
I got so badly bullied on my PGCE placement that I left on the second day. Then left the PGCE. Glad I did.
Really? that bad in only two days?
(What is the PGCE?)
@@azmike3572 Certificate to qualify as a teacher
@@seiwarriors Thanks.
I got bullied badly during my pgce placement, and passed it on the very last week. Then, it happened during the nqt year, so I changed school. Eventually zi manager to qualify, but this means nothing: schools should not be allowed to do that
Thank you so much to Now Teach for bringing this conversation to us. There is quite a lot I disagree with from Katherine Birbalsingh's perspective, but that's exactly why I enjoyed and appreciated you making this available to us. I've since spent a lot of time following up on understanding her views, and I have found this to have been tremendously useful. There is no arguing with Katherine's results at Mikaela, and there's much I agree with (behavioural management, close engagement of parents, prohibiting smart phones, traditional approach to respect and gratitude, the damage caused by the soft bigotry of low expectations for the underprivileged, whether by race and/or economic status). The main points of disagreement I have is the way she conflates this approach with 'progressive politics'. She persistently mischaracterises the 'position of the left' and simply sets up a series of straw men, which no one is arguing for. She oversimplifies the position opposing her own. But what makes me suspicious, is the needless politicisation of teaching methods: her frequent presentations at right wing outlets: Conservative party conference, Rubin Report, GB News, New Culture Forum, Centre for Independent Studies, and many others, indicates a much broader agenda and aspiration, or perhaps she is unwittingly being used by the Conservative right as a propaganda puppet. Progressive politics is about ensuring fairness of access to education, access to health care, a strong welfare system, fairness of salaries and working conditions from the lowest to the highest, appropriate use of taxation to ensure the bottom in society are not left behind. But this has nothing to do with effective classroom teaching methods - aspirations for children, and the best way to help them achieve success is in no way in contrast to this, and she needlessly antagonises the left with the clear pandering to the right. She is a persuasive and effective speaker, and I agree with many of her positions (for evidence, watch her destroy the opposing speaker when she debates performance-related pay for teachers, which I completely agree with her on) and I disagree with her on others (her position against the use of technology in schools, where I think underestimates the value of new tools). But again, this was precisely the sort of evocative, provocative and stimulating position that it was incredibly useful for Now Teach's audience to be exposed to, so thanks again so much for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and more importantly, it provided a great springboard for me to learn.
The real problem is the economy does not require most of what is taught in school, but employers need to ask for GCSE results of C and above (or number equivalent) in Maths and English so they know they are hiring people who ought to be able to do basic maths and at the very least can understand basic instructions. However, mental arithmetic is usually poor and young people don't listen very well so the C grade and above is not all that helpful.
There is no shortage. There are way too many teachers.

This was very helpful thanks.
There's no future for teachers in the UK.
Why do you say this?
Mr Blake very glib and no social responsibility, stating the obvious. We need to work hard-what about you. How can teachers teach effectively if they're not qualified. What he doing about the poor poor pay and shocking working conditions.
He's no teacher-he's a politician!
Do not enter the teaching profession!
Very beautiful journalist😍😍😍
I do not need to see her cleavage though !
She's talking nonsense as long as it slides of her tongue easily!.
Don't ever be a teacher. You don't even need an accusation or a criminal record. I have never had either. Suspicion and gossip will ruin your life. It has mine.
He's such a liar when he says he would go back to teaching-he wouldn't too poorly paid.
Have you considered teaching abroad?
@@guitar999able teaching abroad is better?
@@watvid1 it seems much better as they are treated with more respect and less paperwork which means they can have a work and life balance. I've met countless teachers abroad that say they would never go back to the UK and USA due to these issues. They are also loved where they are so it's no surprise people either leave the profession or go abroad to never come back.
@@simple3359 That's what I'm considering doing, will do my teaching training this year then hopefully from next move abroad. Some international schools accept NQTs
IMO uk schools in working-and lower middle class areas are deliberately sabotaging childrens' education - especially boys. The 10 year old grandson of a friend proudly showed us a schoolbook. Regular spelling mistakes were left unchecked and blindingly obvious errors of speech such as monf, fink, nuffing etc were also ignored. This boy is a very bright child and his future is being badly undermined. I am not a teacher but I could do a far better job myself.
Well that’s one child. Most teachers have sometimes over a hundred students work to mark, including taking up classes without teachers. The planning, mounting paperwork, and ridiculous standards drive people away.
Actually I heard UK kids are notoriously lazy. They take no responsibility for their own learning. Massive difference when teaching Irish kids. Uk kids and parents want the teacher doing all the work.
i love teaching never teach for money ...
Amazing that you're still alive!
There must be reason why most leave within 3 years
The salary is crap anyway..never covers the real hours worked
