I have nc for this...
Trained as asecondary teacher last year, loved it. New school for my NQT year, and I am hating nearly every minute.
I don't like the staff in my department, I don't like the school culture, I resent having to teach an unreasonable amount of Y8 and Y9 bottom sets.
My mentor is my HOD and all we talk about in my mentor meetings is the new GCSE spec.
I cry almost every day and ask myself why I neglect my own children to teach somebody else's who are not remotely interested in what they could learn.
I enjoy teaching the interested and/or academically able, but I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to build up any rapport with kids who couldn't care less.
Should I stay or should I go back to my old (and much better paid) job? Is it worth toughing it out during the NQT year and then find a nice private school asap?
