English Teachers

[Grimalkin]

Are there any English Teachers out there? I am thinking of doing a PGCE and embarking on a teaching career (11-18), but am hesitating as I am concerned that the subject will get submerged under crowd control and endless repeats of Macbeth...  I could happily commit to a pastoral element of teaching, but just don't want to feel like I am wasting my knowledge of literature and my own learning (I've just finished my MA and would like to do my doctorate but can't afford it).  Does any one have any thoughts please?

I believe you can never have enough of English as it's the most widest used language around.
