Hi, I am in the middle of a teaching placement and I am seriouly considering dropping out. I am quite enjoying the teaching (some of the time), but am finding it very difficult. I grossly underestimated the amount of work involved ( at the moment I spend about 4 hours planning a one hour lesson)and how stressful the job is. That said I would enjoy the challenge. The problem is I cannot stand the amount of time I am spending away from my dc's. They are 3yrs and 19 months. I wish I had not applied to do the course until they are older. I don't know what I was thinking. It seemed like a distant date in the future at the time.
Anyway now I hate leaving them and being so preoccupied. I want to quit but I don't know if this is the right thing to do. I feel like if I leave the placement I am being a quiter and not seeing things through.
What would you do?
