So I am now worried that my placement have provided bad references.
I have had so many issues during my PGCE. I ended up with no mentor for most of my placement and my tutor had issues with me regarding childcare (I have four children. The youngest was 3 months when I started the course).
I was provided with set teaching hours before Christmas. After Christmas I was told that my hours had changed, which meant that I had to find additional childcare. I explained to my tutor that I had to find suitable childcare before I could start these new hours. She told me that "you should have thought about this before and maybe you shouldn't be on the course if you cannot fit your childcare around my placement." I had no idea that the hours were going to be changed. Needless to say I sorted out extra childcare, which cost me an extra £50 a week.
Loads of other issues came about over this time, resulting in my contacting my Union.
So anyhoo I'm am now so scared that this amazing job is going to be pulled from under me. Seeing the job re-advertised has worried me even more.
Not really seeking advice just need to have a grumble really.
