I’m into to my sixth week in school. School is fine, kids are fine...just fine. I’m really not enjoying the teaching side of things. It’s all teach to test and there’s no creativity anywhere to be seen.
It genuinely makes me sad that poems are being read purely for annotating prior to exams. Novels are reduced to extracts where a particular theme needs to be evidenced.
If you can’t tell, I’m secondary English.
Honest opinions...is it worth me sticking it out? I have the option to transfer to an English course unrelated to education and seriously considering it.
Any advice would be massively appreciated.
