Today, join me as I speak to my good friend & flatmate, Primary School Teacher Rory Hitchcock (or Baz).
We discussed:
- What drove him to become a primary school teacher
- If teaching was what he expected it to be
- The realities of teaching young children, the human cost & toll as a profession
- The rewarding aspects & challenges of the job
- His involvement in surf lifesaving, rugby & numerous sporting clubs and how that’s helped him
- His experience & opinion on taking a gap year
- Whether teachers are paid fairly, and the how paying teachers more could impact the education system
- Addressing gaps in the curriculum and teaching things like financial literacy & confidence
- What’s the same & what’s different in school compared to when we went to school (8-9 years ago)
