Well, I've been following the progress of my assessment of my teaching qualifications by the NZQA. The little icon had moved on one more space. Curious as to what they must think - i admit to having gone to great lengths to get all the bits and pieces they could possibly require... so now? Is it going to be money well spent? I'm sharing Garys concerns over what is the truth of this place called NZ? Yes, i've looked at the aforementioned website - but i'm ever the optimist and i've always been pragmatic... so there're some bigoted, racist and sexist views/folk over there - but i think i knew that and i've never lived in a country that hasn't had that to some degree (ie the UK) and that is why i'm dead pleased we get the reccie this summer first cos to be fair we've also had folk over there tell us we'd love it! In the past I have lived in a squat with no heating and electricity while at uni and i've worked in a multiracial very aggressive school - but i've not had the pleasure of stunning views, mountains and beaches so accessible...or open roads..... now thats what i'm looking forward to. The money and housing of course need considering seriously I understand. Chamonis sounds lovely but i honestly don't know what job I'd get there with the language difference to consider - Gary would have to take the lead on that one.
Canada haha has always been my second choice though - I looked up the immigration requirements for that one yesterday too - no chance there I'm afraid - teachers aren't on their skilled migrant list so we wouldn't earn enough points and you have to 'prove your economic well being' to survive there, ie take a minimum amount of money over with you - which i doubt that we'd manage. Ho hum. NZ here we come - lets take a look and see for ourselves.
