I've taken a post mid year in a dept which have had supply since before Xmas. There is lots of supply in the school, a number of teachers out with stress (4 out of 30 ish...that seems like a lot). The school know they have a huge behaviour problem. <br>I can't control the classes to teach. I can't teach so the kids can learn. The kids aren't engaged so the behaviour spirals. <br>I'm planning and replanning till 1am every night so exhausted.<br>I just feel so out of my depth. So so out of my depth and want to give up. But I'm only a week in. I can't give up now. I just need to get thru the next 3 weeks and 3 days....but I don't even know how to get thru tomorrow. I've been told to go home, drink wine and sleep. Do nothing but 'turn to page xxx' in the text book for the next week and get them behaviour trained...but that feels like I will create behaviour problems because thats the way they are treated with supply.<br><br>tell me how to avoid giving up...
