I am a graduate who is thinking of applying for a pgce this year in the view to becoming a primary school teaching. I was wondering if anyone who is currently a primary school teacher or is doing a primary PGCE could give me some advice. Many people such as my parents have put some doubt in my mind as they have said teaching is very stressful and thus not worth going into, is this really the case? . Do the benefits outway the negatives e? ,I really just want some advice about going into teaching and what teaching is really like for those in the know.
thanks very much
