Hey everyone, please bear with me, I've had a really rough week and am currently looking at all options!
I'm a probationer, just finishing up next week (in Scotland). I thought that I had been very lucky in securing a permanent post, and I know I am, but I'm now having serious doubts about it. I went in to the school today to meet the class and they are very difficult. I know that everyone has to have one at one point, but I honestly don't think that I'm the right person to have them. I've had brilliant reports duirng my probation and during my student placements, but I just looked at that class and for the first time ever thought "I can't handle this".
So, looking at all options. I have another interview on Monday which is for a job which is fixed term for a year. If I was offered that would it be ridiculous to give up a permanent post for that? Or if I was to not get that and take some time out to apply and find something that felt more right, would that reflect badly on me?
I am competent, and I know I'm good at my job. I just couldn't think of where to even start with this lot. It was only half an hour, but still.
Please forgive how jumbled up I am. Any words of advice welcomed, I'm panicking quite a lot.
