Have final placement due at Easter, lovely school, really looking forward to it!!
Just discovered I have the same mentor as last time. My last placement ended on a low note after an upsetting incident which happened immediately before I was due to teach, my mentor didn't take it into account when the lesson didn't go so well and basically ripped me to shreds afterwards for my grading with the class teacher. I was still in shock after the incident and just agreed with everything.
A month later they lowered the only good mark I had in the end review, straight after I filled in a questionnaire about how I was supported on placement (I'd said I felt unsupported)
I had counselling sessions at uni to overcome the situation I'd been in, who were brilliant, I was so cheered up and happy ....and now I have the same mentor.
Student Union say that if I ask for a different one it is putting their professionalism into question.
Everyone says that in your career you will have to work with people you don't get on with and I agree.
But WWYD in this situation?

I am a bit scared of how my mentor will treat me...
