So I am doing my PGCE with QTS as a school direct student. I have been put in Recpeption class (I requested this as i have been an Early Years Practitioner/Nursery Nurse for 8 years in a school) anyhow they put me in a Reception class and it's only me my mentor and a 1:1. The school are lying to the parents saying the 1:1 is the TA for the class but in reality she is a 1:1 for a SEND child.
At first I didn't mind but technically I should be part of a numerarcy not an actual extra adult. But now the year leader who is also my mentor has put me on the rotas and basically means I speak bare minimum shadowing her! It's so unfair there are 6 other people doing it in Repcetion too and all of them all have either a TA or an EYP. I feel like they are using me based on the fact I am experienced. I'm leaving after 5 everyday sometimes 6 doing basic TA work because they don't have a TA. To make matters worse the course provider (its a school) is the same flipping school I'm working in. AIBU? Or do I just get on with it
