decisions decisions

I went into town because i needed to sort out my phone, and i wanted to meet rachel, turns out i missed her which was a shame. but she is taking a proactive look at her life and setting up a future in primary education. i, on the other hand, can't make the decision whether to stay with the accounting or to try for primary ed. well i am finding the accountancy very easy at the moment but that will probably change, i could stay with this, i reckon that i could hold onto this until the end and become an MAAT, that'd be good i could become a self employed accountant for small businesses or move up and become chartered that would have the possibility of earning me alot of money. while if i went with the primary ed i, i'm not sure, i find helping at all saint's enjoyable, i'm not sure if i could handle the workload, or thirty or so kids, i mean i would probably try to overcomplicate things, like the science lessons i help with, i dislike teaching people bad science, well most science that you are taught up to a degree level is bad science in one way or another, but apart from that i might end up trying to explain to the children atomic theory, how could they possibly comprehend atomic theory, they don't tell you about it at KS2, at KS3 the simplify it to the extreme and at Further ed (which is my current limit) they go right into shell theory which can be a right bitch. but back to my day. I didn't get around to returning the maths books i suppose that i will have to return them at some point, athough they probably don't care or even know about them because they don't do the course anymore, well they never complained when i didn't return the biology and chemistry books. but how long will the science books stay in date anyway because the subjects are always changing and evolving to greater levels of understanding. i know that some people wallow in ignorance though, i have always attributed this to fear. but after a debate (yes lets call it that) with a christian creationist about evidence and faith. i now know that some people are just willingly blind to the world because that is how they were brought up and educated and so they will push it onto other people in the name of the 'almighty'. blind acceptance is never a way forward, it's only ever a way of dragging people down with you. but i didn't do much else today so i'm going to call this it. til tommorow.
