    Im in my final year of the BEd and due to the lack of jobs am windering whether I should apply to junior schools as well as national schools? I've been told you can't do your Dip there, but would it be better to work steadily in a junior school for a year or sub in various national schools? i've had very mixed responses from the teachers I've asked. Thanks...

A young teacher having discipline problems wouldnt stand a chance in many of these places.Not a good place to start your career perhaps?
    Of course if anyone has contrary opinions perhaps they would post ...
