Hi man. Hope you have fun.

Go into teaching the world is crying out for physics teachers that can make it sound interesting.

thanks you both. yeah ive been around this site from time to time over the past few years. was great to have a resource to learn from and everyone seems nice.

felex, yeah i know what you mean, but im not sure i can make it that interesting! ive done some grinds, but that was always a last minute thing, so you dont really get to explain concepts. its more of a getting-thru-the-questions experience.
unfortunately thats all im qualified for, as you need a H.Dip in education to be a teacher here and that costs more than i can afford. although with the demand, maybe there are some grants available...you cant even be a substitute anymore without it.

Welcome!

I approve of your reading tastes, if only because they are similar to mine. (I loved all three of the books you mentioned. :D)

I would be a physicist, but the maths treated me badly. Still love the subject. As an aside, if they are that short of teachers, there must be something that you can use to get into it? Assuming you want to of course....

I would be a terrible teacher if I actually had to follow a set curriculum. There is far too much fun stuff to limit kids to that. Of course, they need some basics, but I would get bored with my own material if it had to be dumbed down too much.

Teaching is not for everyone though.
