Seeing how some teachers feel on placement is disheartening

[Warmday]

My heart goes out to her. The poor woman sounds so fed up. I can tell her heart isn’t in the job. She even said it’s not. I know I don’t want to stay here at this placement because I can tell they want to drain you till you cry.

I’m a very head strong person so even if they offered me something I would say no because I know the school doesn’t fit my values.

But the poor soul she sounded so fed up. She said they made her take the job because someone left and she figured it was an easy option now she’s stuck here.

It’s really sad because I can tell that this school has done that to more than just her. It scares me too

?

Who's this post about OP?

You on placement & not wanting to potentially work in the school? Or someone else?

You need to be a little clearer!

Eh?

I think you should realise this year has been ridiculously tough and unprecedented so even experienced teachers are struggling. It's perfectly ok to realise you don't like your placement school. I did my placement in a school that had a lot of students. The headteacher was very involved and demanded weekly detailed lesson plans and had completely banned Twinkl. Some people liked the atmosphere others like me really didn't and when a job came up I didn't apply. Keep a record of what happens on placement and if they are not giving you what they've agreed to, tell your uni/provider.
