The great sucking sound

You.don’t have to a genius to know that maths is the worst taught subject in the UK. The reason is that noone wants to teach it. Whenever anyone mentions becoming s maths teacher to a maths graduate there is a sucking sound as they make their excuses. I remember telling someone when asked this question, ‘I want to see if I can get a Jon in the private sector first’. Frankly teaching maths in a school is an awful job, so we have to get foreigners to do it. Schools are scouring the world for maths teachers, creating another sucking sound of foreign teachers abandoning their countries for the UK. The government has said they will take Syrian refugees from camps. No doubt they will be giving priority to maths teachers. Every Syrian should.claim to be one if they want to come to the UK.
