Re: Whats the worst thing that a student teacher has done?
Posted by Thesis on 4/18/08

    Thank you. Thats what I was wondering because I have spoken to
    numerous student teachers who have failed because their CT did
    not like them persoanlly even though they were a good student
    teacher who showed improvment. It makes no sense that certain
    people fail while others pass. I guess it is just politics.

    I would appreciate even more stories.
