great students don't always make great teachers
explaining something to someone who doesn't get it when you did without thinking how can be hard
Most of my students were normal given the demographic of the suburb I tutored in.
Sometimes you need an influx of not normal students to boost the average scores for the class
This isnt from other industries, this is high school students with ATAR scores of 17 getting to do teaching courses

These represent a score graded out of 100 for University placement.What does this represent? these ATAR scores mean nothing to me. Is 17 equivalent to a D grades or a fail or what?

Here is an example list https://www.flinders.edu.au/study/pathways/year-12-entry/required-atar
Speech Pathology requires a 93. Law and Medicine typically ask for 90 or above
Victoria in 2017 recognised the issue
From 2019, aspiring teachers will need an ATAR score of at least 70 after their final exams.
The Education Minister, James Merlino, said the current variation in entry scores was huge.
"You can have an ATAR of 30 and get into a teacher course today. Those people are just not ready to be teachers," he said.
I cant even remember ours. SACE or something Matric + . Leaving after year 10 I didnt bother finding outThanks, so then an ATAR of 17 would be a miserable fail. (We had Anderson scores in my day ).

I think this point has been lost on a lot of people. If someone goes into the course with those grades they still have to graduate like every other person. They may even end up with the same grade at the end of the course as someone who went in with 90's.should being a shitkicker in high school prevent you from having opportunities in the future? If these people are able to ace the coursework then what does it matter if they were dropkicks when they were teenagers.
I think teaching in particular is a job that exposes shitkickers quite quickly, which is why so many new teachers leave their jobs.
Hopefully it's changed now but some of the incompetent boneheads we had as teachers in the 90s at high school out in the country, I have no idea how they were able to graduate and get qualified. There was something obviously very wrong with the system that they were allowed to get through and gain employment.I think this point has been lost on a lot of people.

Universities need to be made more accountable as there is an over supply of teachers atm and this would go a long way to explaining why.
It also once again totally disrespects an industry that is supposedly there to help churn out the next Einstein. No wonder teachers get a bad rap.
They should be made to wait a year - do a bridging course and if they pass that then by all means go for it
Any school kid worth their salt would have at least once made that teacher's edition 'disappear' 5 minutes before class.I was all excited to learn German as my first foreign language in Year 7, swotted hard, was amazed at the teacher's prowess. Then I discovered the teachers edition of our textbook had a translation on every opposite page and he didn't know an Elektrizitätswerk from a bloody Krankenhaus.
universities don't care about what happens to students when they graduate, they just want that delicious commonwealth money, print out a degree and say hey thanks for coming
That VW Tiguan ad with the dad at the wedding.
It doesn't make sense , who signs off on this s**t ?
