Teaching Tomorrow
It's my first day in school tomorrow, teaching 12-18 year olds. I start off with a year 9 class (supposedly the worst year to teach, at the age when they're in the middle of puberty and are discovering the other sex), then go onto another sodding year 9 class and finally finish off with some nice year 7s. This means I finish 2:15pm, which isn't too bad I suppose.
I'm really nervous about it all though. I'm not entirely sure how much "teaching" I'll be doing - it'll be 5-10 minutes at the most, and will probably just be observation (as the university year goes on, I'll gradually progress onto teaching full lessons on my own). But it's still a far cry from last term, where it was just university with lectures and seminars. Not for the first time, I'm starting to think "Am I in too deep?".
I know we all get nervous when starting something new, in most jobs. I'm just scared I'll **** something up

Re: Teaching Tomorrow
Which part of the UK? If they're from London or Manchester, they're most likely to be on crack.

Re: Teaching Tomorrow
You are screwed. I was at the pinnacle of my bad behaviour at that year.
You wont be teaching after this. Whatever you do, STAY IN CONTROL! YOU ARE THE TEACHER!*
*Expect another thread on how tomkat suffers a nervous breakdown folks. Wont be long.

Re: Teaching Tomorrow
For how long do you have to study before you graduate?
I am in my first year, and I'm going to be teaching year 7-12. Gotta love it.
First, you have to earn their respect. Kill the first one who disagrees with you (no matter what subject it is) that will teach them!

Re: Teaching Tomorrow
I didn't do any teaching, and probably won't for another week or two... which I'm grateful for.
I'll be observing some more, getting the classes used to having me around. Still, it's an early start every day for me (have to be at school for 8:30am) - I finish relatively early though.
It's been fun so far
Plus the teacher said he'd lend me a copy of Flash (that's what they're doing at A-level at the moment) - which is a program I've always been interested in, and only really scratched the surface of.

Which should be fun, as all the new Macromedia software activates over the internet, so you'll be getting either a cracked 'illegal' copy with a hacked exe or an old version with less features.
Either way, it's better than paying for it.

For us who seen it that was funny.
For those who didn't, no one has a clue what your post means - although they likely agree with it anyway.

But he said the other day he's got a new mobile and thus why would his sister answer if he's ****ing up the ass.*
*lol, like he'll be doing that.

I dunno - he has only just got a mobile.

And I still don't get why his sister would answer.

Re: Teaching Tomorrow
She lives with him. It's the home phone number. If he is ****ing some Glaswegian bint up the poohole then he's not likely to answer. Thus, unless his sister is concurrently being battered in the brown one, she's probably going to answer.
All being well, of course...

Hey Tomcat don't fret it too much I am sure you will love it. You obviously wanted this and your so close now I know if you have worked this hard to come this far you will do just fine. Who knows the girls might even think your a hot teacher I know i have a few heh
I felt just like you did before I started my Daycare. It has been the most rewarding experience in my life I am glad i did not back down when i was scared and I know you will feel the same when your done. Take care
