Work Experience - 01/02

Oh wow Anna, congratulations on picking the absolutely THRILLING topics for your blog posts.

Annnnnyway, today I had the day off from school (which is BRILLIANT) and what did I decide to do with my day of freedom, I hear you ask. I went in to my mom's school to help out. I know, don't I live life on the edge?

Whenever I have a day off and my dear, sweet mother doesn't, I go into her school to do the odd jobs around the school and just sit awkwardly in the back of the classroom whilst she teaches (I am the MASTER of awkward by now) and I actually find it to be really fun.

But yesterday, I had a master brainwave.

Usually, in schools in the UK, kids in my year go on work experience at some point at the end of the year for a couple of weeks but my school became an academy this year (meaning they do what they want to do, not what the government tells them to do) so they scrapped work experience altogether. They say that if you want work experience, you get it yourself. This is a problem for me because I want to go into teaching and the only time I can really do any work experience is in the school holidays and in the school holidays, none of the schools are actually open.

My brainwave was that when I need to say "I DID SOME WORK EXPERIENCE!" I just turn to my time spent at my mom's school because technically I am some weird kind of teaching assistant/technician and it BLOODY COUNTS!

So yeah, brainwave. I'm so genius.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
