I am a teaching assistant and will qualify to be a teacher after I attain my certification in a couple of months’ time. However, I am unsure if I will be able to be a good teacher or to handle the stress, and if it’s a better idea for me to just remain as a teaching assistant. Has anyone faced similar fears and how did you overcome them?
My main concerns are:
-
Due to perhaps my own trauma from childhood, where my parents were very harsh on me, I now find it very difficult to raise my voice or “scold” my students, which my coworkers have told me I have to do. I just feel very guilty about it.
-
Similarly, I live in fear of a child suffering from an injury under my watch (due to a fall or caused by another child) Whenever a child gets injured (even for minor scratches), my heart sinks until I know that their parent is not angry about it. And of course, I fear major incidents too.
-
I feel inadequate as a teacher. Although I have done well in my internships, I still feel I am very inadequate compared to the other teachers in my school, in terms of getting the children to follow their instructions, classroom management, lesson ideas etc.
-
I am unsure if I can cope with the demands in the long term (lesson prep, paperwork, and the long hours of classroom teaching with my mind perpetually on high alert mode)
I think it was his fastest lap timing from Suzuka last year
No, people don’t automatically become emotionally mature once they reach a certain life stage. If not, why would there be child abusers in this world? (As an extreme example)
In 1.5 years in F1, he has only put his car in the wall once by himself. And crashed into others once (or twice, I can’t recall exactly). All unfortunate it happened in recent races so there’s a recency effect in people’s memories.
darn it. I was hoping that some of the speculations about Yuki going to AM as early as next year would be true. And that would leave another AT seat open for Liam to come in as well.
That was a great Q3!
Hope Daniel is okay....
I’ve seen fan reports of him flying Economy class on flights, so perhaps he’s not thaaat rich. (But it could just be his personal choice too)
