Dear all,
very sad to hear your comments, I too am in this position and after much soul searching after working in Early Years since 1984, I have come to the conclusion that gaining my PGCE and QTS is the only option open so that I can remain independent and support myself properly. But thinking positively if we as graduates with a sound child development knowledge base, experience ++ think how we could all turn school life around for those children who are attending school, remember as well that the government keeps bringing compulsory school age to a younger and younger age, with our voices out there promoting the child, the whole child, and nothing but the child, we could do a great deal of very positive work and bring about amazing changes. Teachers do have unions to help and protect them and people do listen to teachers views, it may take a wee while but this positivity could filter backwards into Early Years settings as well.
So I am going all the way now that I am investing considerable sums of money and energy, excitement and enthusiasm into this personal project.
Keep your chins up all of you out there on this BA route I think it will be worth it for many, many reasons.
kindest regards Cheyenne
