I am an NNEB employed as a nursery assistant in a Northern Ireland primary school with a nursery unit for three-and four-year-olds. I am supposed to assist the teacher but over the last few years have found I am responsible for many of the teacher's duties, including planning the weekly and monthly notes, policy statements, assessments, class activities and so on, and also all the other jobs she considers beneath her! Yet I am still treated as an idiot because I don't have a teaching degree. But the joke is really on me, because I am paid half a teacher's salary for twice the work.
