your jobs

[Slick]

I have spent most of my adult life teaching, training teachers, training teacher-trainers, and then training the trainers of teacher-trainers
I have just left a 16-yr stint in academia, and am having some 'time out' while I decide what to do next (can't retire yet).
I also write (2 books published) and have branched out into editing (1 book published 2 yrs ago, another due out this September).
Started my working life as a nurse, and was also a postman at one point

I suppose it would be a bit presumptuous to assume your books are on teacher training?

More like Carry On Teacher or Confessions of a Teacher!

Kind of right, one in a specialist area, the other a book for language learners (the latter out of print, the former still gets me decent royalty cheques )

The editing is different though ... one is a book of short stories, the other is memoirs of a musician

hi for those who work or out of work what do you do I am a agency healthcare worker I mainly do mental health and challenging behaviour and learning disabilities its different every day and very rewarding but long hours 12 hour days nights are common

We know a 4 year old child who can’t talk at all & his mum was offered help & she has refused it. When he goes to School soon he’ll be faaaaaaarked.
He has been let down by the system & his own parents.
Is there any advice on this situation or just let special needs in school run it’s course?

Have they looked into selective mutism?

(oh, OK, parents refusing help, but maybe bring it up. I know a bit about it)

Done stints (short except supermarket and pharmacy) at a few things, data inputer, NHS jobs, cleaner, supermarket, pharmacy. Pharmacy was by far the easiest, but lowest paid. NHS was the most fun. Now a student for a third time. PGR is the silly anacronym the uni keeps on referring to everybody as in the e-mails . Uni is fantastic, 9-5 finally, no weekends, an additional two week's holiday, two offices and multiple places to work.

No way, he makes loads of silly high pitched noises & sometimes trying to speak he’ll sound like he’s deaf. He can say a couple of names, like Dadda, mamma but that’s all. He likes to line up objects into a long straight neat line.
He’s a really sweet kid deep down, laughing & smiling. I just feel so sorry for him. Another few years & it’s possible bullies will flock to him.

Hope the parents take the help necessary It's there, the NHS is great at this kind of thing
