Pretty simple really. I am considering a career change into teaching... I know there are LOTS of teachers on BB. Talk to me about your experiences - study through to actual teaching. I'm undecided if I'd brave secondary teaching (memories of how badly my teachers were treated haunt me!) or primary teaching... talk to me about work load, politics (because it's everywhere), tips, advice, hours, for secondary teachers - do you get to pick what you teach? i.e. maths or english? Because no one would ever want me to teach maths! I currently work as a nurse so it is reasonable to expect that I *could* teach biology or health.

TIA
