--- Quote ---As for the diploma of education, Ms Stone described it as a "total waste of time"....
Now studying a bachelor of science to update her maths skills, Ms Stone said the diploma of education was an appalling academic experience that concentrated more on the use of academic language to espouse educational theories than the skills required to teach in the classroom.
"There's a confusion of purpose," she said.
"Most people would expect a one-year teacher qualification, particularly if it's mandatory, to make you classroom-ready, giving you practical skills. But most of what you do is highly theoretical, about education theory with subjects like adolescent development and the theory of self-identity."

This is another one of my 'I have nothing to back up my point of view but I have one anyway' posts:
When student teachers come through mum's school, what they learn in terms of how to shut up 25 teenagers etc doesn't work at all, and the teachers always have to tell them the RL way of doing things

A school with teenagers that never shut up.
