Despite the rantings of some on AO, there is nothing political about teaching in the classroom. Curriculum, is a guide, 97% of it was made up by Conservative gov'ts, and you choose what you say. I refuse to say lots of the stuff that is in the health curriculum because of my old school worldview. So what. No one is standing in my classroom, and so no one knows if I just don't mention it. Problem solved.
Ultimately, go with something you enjoy.

How much extra time does being a science teacher involve? I know some classes are brutal for prep, marking and extra help. Curious how bad a science teacher is? Stuck working extra time often or able to use prep time effectively enough to keep ahead?
