I applied to get on the #GTCS register to teach in my home country.. head home when HWP illness takes over. It seems everything I am in England doesn’t count up north. Their loss!
I know I don’t have a maths degree but…I have a 1st BA #teaching and #learning degree!!

It’s okay if you’re struggling right now.
