Some of us went to school in the days sadistic teachers were allowed to hit pupils.
Which sucks if you've got dyspraxia and the reliable tests for that are 10 years into the future. And you get slippered for poor spelling and handwriting.Mind you my uncle had it worse, he was hiding from the Nazis from age one and didn't meet his real family till he was 4.
Other than that I'm sure you'll make a great teacher.
I just wouldn't try coming over like some hardened, experienced, veteran.
I'm gonna have problems then. Pretty sure they only let me into university because I told them so many sob stories about my horrific days of woe, and turned up to my interview in tears and camouflage.
