Pissed off at teaching qualification exams.

[mrk2010]

Well tonight I found out that as part of my teaching qualification I have to do exams in Math's and English and I am extremely pissed off as it has just been sprung up on me. Apparently it is part of the Governments standards and to be honest I find it quite insulting. Years ago I did my English qualifications along with my Math's and I think this totally devalues my degree. If I was no good in these area's I would have obviously done shit in my degree and failed. Having written a 15,000 word dissertation on antimicrobial properties from diverse natural habitats I think I have the skills necessary and having scored the best scores in my entire university department and in all of the university departments in the North East I find these tests menial and degrading. I am frankly feeling quite disgusted and it's made me think why did I bother doing a science degree if I have to do these crap tests?
