@johnwlsn thank you for all the pictures! do you sell these items?

 

[johnwlsn]

@conservative_christian hi yes @missionsmanual

 

[conservative_christian]

Is it through your FB page?

 

[conservative_christian]

Oops ignore me, I only just read this properly, and seen the "take it personally" was the name of your business... Not a suggested response it's been a long day.

@conservative_christian of course you put teacher

 

[revjrm2047]

TAs are basically under paid teachers! In my sons school they often take a small group of kids to work in in a different room on phonics etc “focus groups” they’re teaching those kids just the same as a teacher, without the title, sometimes with more experience and less pay.

@revjrm2047 they don't have the qualifications that's the difference.

 

[monotonous]

@shingler7992 this is a big assumption to make. I am a HLTA, I have a degree in Primary Education and have worked across pretty much every school setting. I plan and teach all of my own maths lessons. There are also qualified teachers on my team. As well as teach our own lessons, we have to cover teachers in their absence, often having to plan lessons on the go

 

[johan77]

@shingler7992 massive assumption! I have various qualifications and no pay to match them!

 

[shingler7992]

@johan77 but you don't have QTS. Doesn't matter what else you have as without QTS...

 

[shingler7992]

@monotonous not QTS..not a teacher.

 

[zumbafanforever]

@shingler7992 try telling most schools that.

 

[shingler7992]

@zumbafanforever still the division and unfortunately makes a massive difference in pay

 

[shingler7992]

@johan77 and your choice. Get QTS and you are away..

@revjrm2047 TA’s are fantastic and worth their weight in gold - but they don’t plan the activities - that is done by the teacher.

 

[traceyeloise]

@atomis2790 many TAs plan the activities themselves these days!! They don’t get paid to do so but they do!!!!

 

[johan77]

@atomis2790 incorrect assumption. I plan my phonics sessions and I also plan PE for early years.

@atomis2790 incorrect x my daughter plans all her intervention lessons, and is in charge of the art lessons too, 24, been a ta for 7 years and just finished her first year of teaching degree x
