Hi All,
I've got a place on a PGCE starting in September and in the mean time have been doing some Cover Supervisor work. In all honesty it has been total hell, barely any of the pupils have listened and I've really struggled with behaviour management. I've had pupils point blank refuse to do any work, things thrown across the classroom, a table thrown over in one class and just generally utter chaos. It's really put me off and made me think maybe I wouldn't make a good teacher. Does it get any easier and is it any different as an actual teacher rather than going into a school to do Cover work?

please tell me actual teaching isn't as bad as being a cover?
