We were interviewing for a TA in a primary school, and the interviewee was talking about discipline and noise levels when he said something along the lines of "It takes a lot to bring me out of control but when I do, I explode big time." as an afterthought he added "but I dont become aggressive". The kids are between 7 and 9, so quite young.
I think this is a red flag, and I am hesitant to bring him into my team. The head is keen to get a man in, but she did not attend the interview on this occasion (his second).
This is just one issue that make me doubt him. The other (out of a few more) is his clothes. He was told about the school dress code at the first interview. Yet he showed up in the same attire for his second interview.
This makes me wonder if he could be difficult to manage.
Any thoughts?
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.
