Yes, you need to be registered over here with a particular 'college' to be allowed to teach in our schools. You need to pay these people each year and jump through many hoops to stay not only registered but also to advance your registration. Of course they must do something in return, right, right? Not, so far as I have seen...
I have had to register with them three, yes three times so far, because don't you just know it, they won't accept that my birth certificate, same one as 5 years ago, same one as 2 years ago, is the same one this time...I do not get it, but I have also given up trying to get it. I just smile, jump through another pretty hoop and pray that this time they will yes "Yes, welcome to our little club". Fingers crossed because I have the rather large desire to be teaching again soon and really, really do not want them to muck it up...Did I mention I have absolutely no idea what it is they do for me yet??
We pay them money, they give us a little plastic card, possibly the most expensive plastic card I own, may I point out, and then they....Oh yeah, nothing. I am sure as I scrabble and slip my way back into the classroom I will discover a delightful amount of tricksey fun things that they have magically been supplying for the last 18months...But until then....
