Hello,
I am writing this post to older student teachers. I just
finished spending a few hours reading posts on another
website regarding a cooperative teacher's experience with
an older student teacher.
My conclusion is as follows:
1) the teacher is not well educated as evidenced by her
poor grammar and style.
2) the teacher lacks managerial and leadership skills (not
unexpected for a teacher) and fails to communicate her own
expectations for the student teacher but expects the
student teacher to comform.
3) the teacher is apparently afraid of the university.
This shows immaturity on the part of the teacher.
Also, after reading some of the posts by the CT, There is
reason to question the the mental and academic fitness of
this teacher. (omitting the grammar and style errors)
a. Happyhiker admits to having no friends (depression)
b. Happyhiker is morbidly obese. (depression)
c. Happyhiker complains about her hair (depression)
d. Happyhiker admits to checking parents for the presence
of "hickies." (Extremely odd)
