Hi all,
I’ve just completed my first full year as a TA in a Primary School (picked a class year to start). I work within PE mainly, running the football team and things like that, so I’ve got to know just about every child in the school well, particularly the Year Sixes.
Now that they’ve left I’ve gotten myself a bit down thinking about how I’m likely not going to see the majority of them again. There’s one in particular who I’d taken a shine to, who’s had a really tough time of it lately and chose me as the staff member he wanted to open up to. He and his mother were in floods of tears last Friday as they left the gates for the last time, and I’m genuinely going to miss them.
Obviously I know children grow up and leave schools and that’s always going to be the case, but I suppose I’m writing this to ask whether those goodbyes get easier? Is it just because these are the first Year Sixes I’ve waved off that it’s getting to me so much?
Cheers for reading. Apologies if this isn’t the place for this kind of discussion or anything as well.
