This is a 'tongue in cheek' post but it has a serious note too. I have just opened up my email from Gransnet and at the top was an advertisement to encourage people in to Teaching. As I am still waiting for my State Pension, I thought I would express interest to see if they would take on a 64 year old, especially as we are being told that we should be working well beyond 60.
After ticking the boxes it appears that I don't qualify because I haven't got a Degree, which is a little bizarre because I taught for 39 years and was promoted to Leadership level even though I only had a Certificate of Education (totally acceptable in the early 70s.)
Isn't about time the powers that be decided exactly what they want from our generation?
To go through chemo therapy or choose not to?
