Re: advise please.
Dear Missy
teaching is one of the hardest jobs anyone can ever do, no one knows exactly how difficult it is until they see it and the first time in teaching is the worst, it takes the life out of u literally. the good side is it gets better and better, it is recieved wisdom that it takes at least 5 years to make a good teacher, so dont b surprised u r finding it difficult. Also ask urself r u being harder on ur self becuase u expect it to b perfect the first time? it just doesn't work like that in teaching- its a million skills u have to master how can u know what these skills r from day 1?
Not everyone can teach, but i have read ur posts i have seen the commitment and the love for children-if u have that everything else will fall in place so DO NOT GIVE UP. take time off but do the placement, get ur qualification then if u need to reconsider,
just to add guilt- do u know the highest rate of dropouts for pgce is ethnic minority students-dont become this statistic!
