Would you prefer to teach in a selective, private, religious or public school and why?
This is super tough to know currently, I am currently applying for a scholarship that guarantees 3 years in a public school if I were to succeed, so potentially that. I'd probably feel most comfortable teaching at a private school though, (religious or not, doesn't really bother me) because I did go to a private school, so I feel like I'd think I knew what to do better. Whereas for a public school, I have no clue what happens in them, and it does kinda scare me looking into the darkness.
But when we are put into work placement, I'm pretty sure we get two schools, a private one and a public one, and maybe from that, I'll get a definite answer.
Highlight of learning physics at uni so far?
Ooooooooh!!! That's so difficult!! It would be either:
- When our lecturer demonstrated momentum by bouncing to balls ontop of each other, just to have to ball fly into his face.
- The demonstrations in general, there was one where she placed hollow metal tubes on a fire, and the convection currents make a constant sound (so baffling!!)
- Meeting the most awesome people in them, I've never smiled so much in physics lessons, you really do truly meet some amazing people.
- Doing our own physics lab demonstrations, my favourite having to be compressing gas and seeing heat change and work ratios.
- Our own "private" study room where no one goes to, so a very quite and nice place to study.
- The online lectures that explained each concept again (and had a lot of work put into them (no pun intended))

Okay, I could just go on forever, and I didn't really have a favourite. I'm really gonna miss that course, and hope the future physics courses are just this amazing
Thanks for the questions!!
