World Domination? Just find a world that's into that kind of
thing, then chain to the floor and walk up and down on it in
high heels. -

by, say, a well-informed non-cyclist in a wheelchair. -

French. I'm lucky. I speak a very small amount of French, but one of
my parents is French and she comes in for an hour a week to teach
French to my Year 1 class. I still have to teach singing.... -

than that *before* the whopping increase they gave me to tempt me to
work in the smoke.Guy

lot.It also makes me laugh that the job is based in London, when London
isn't entitled to a penny of that cash. £500,000,000 is London's
equivalent dollop of cash. I bet Veena and Rose at TfL's Centre of
Cycling Excellence get paid more than £45,000 per annum. -

Experience of cycling, however, is not one of them. Make of that what you
will.This is a political job, so one of the requirements is that the person
who gets it, knows nothing about the subject. After all, we have had
countless government ministers who don't know what they are talking about. -

subjects you are expected to teach. If you wanted to teach a single subject
specialism you'd have trained/aimed to teach in a high school :-) -

That's truely mad. You're lucky to be able to coop your mother. My
first French teachers were anglophones but at least they spoke fluent
French.I am trying to visualise Joe Blow teaching Intro Russian to the 9 year
olds. 🙂John Kane Kingston ON Canada

(for example) a French Teacher doesn't need to speak French?I'd say that a head teacher doesn't need to speak every language taught
by every teacher on their staff in order to be able to manage them,
which is rather more relevent. Someone who was going to teach cycling
should have cycling experience, but that's not what they are looking for.All else being equal, a candidate with more cycling experience is likely
to be better, but maybe they also thought that went without saying. -

Time to check the last minute sales. I might just make it. Bad time
to be heading to the right side of the pond for cheap seats though.John Kane Kingston ON Canada
