Can't believe.... the last week is here
How time flies when you're having fun. Can not believe that this is the last week of our second placement - I am just beginning to feel settled and enjoying things. Teaching is going well on the whole, although there are those periods when something goes wrong and it gets you feeling realy down. Last period on Friday was one of those.... the class were as high as kites and whilst I thought I had managed to settle them down, they just would not shut up when they got started working. I was losing it completely and honestly couldnt think of what to do to get them to work quietly. In an open plan department, noise level is fundamental. Then one boy threw a paint brush and another spilled over a waterpot by accident!! Aaaargh!! Stress!! Not a good period. But then its all balanced out by a wonderful wee class who all sit there wide-eyed with their hands up desperate to tell you what they think, or the wee boys in the corridor who smile at you and say 'hi miss..' lol! I think its always really important to consider what made those periods go so badly... and of course take what you can from it and learn for the next time.
Oh... www.ratemyteacher.co.uk Has caused great deal of commotion in school last week. Not sure what I think about it. In some ways I think it is great to be able to hear what pupils think about you.... interactive learning/dialogue and all that, but then I think that perhaps what a pupil thinks just now in S1 or S2 isnt necesaarily how they will always feel about you. Does that make sense? Are they really the best judges of your performance as a teacher? Obviously yes, but in some ways I'd say no too. I would hope that all my pupils would think I am quite strict, and although they probably see that as a bad thing, I would say it is a good thing as a beginning teacher. I feel im not making sense anymore.
Its past my bedtime and im sleepy....
Enjoy the last few days everyone!

Isn't that typical! Last period on a Friday means you've got all weekend to go over the lesson again and again in your head. If it had happened at any other time you could have got straight back on the horse again and got on with the job of teaching. Anyway, I'm glad that you are, "beginning to feel settled" and that you are "enjoying things". ...And sorry that we're bringing you back to Jordanhill to spoil your fun. :-)
that bitch of a teacher is doing my head in.everything i do, she thinks isn't good enough. why doesn't this p.e teacher do it all herself instead of taking it all out on me
my maths teacher is the most gorgeous guy on the whole planet. I am so lucky 2 have him 3 times a week!!
School i find is rather phantasmagorical. I was not born with utmost intelligence, so any career i decide to do in the future, i cast aside as me being pretentious. My teachers are all HORRIBLE AND PATRONISING AND ALL HATE ME AND MAKE ME FEEL THICK.
