Re: My stomach is going crazy
Posted by life now on hold... on 5/01/08

    So yesterday was my last day at my school. I have three weeks
    of student teaching and it was terminated. I will student
    teach again in the fall. I am the last person who would ever
    want to be the "worst" student teacher ever... but I really
    feel there were huge issues with communication between myself
    and my CT.

    About a week and a half ago she said to me that I needed to
    change the way that I reacted with my feedback - I am a career
    change and am used to defending every move when receiving
    criticizm because thats what you are required to do in
    corporate america. I dont feel my school appropriately
    prepared me to deal with that and also with the issues that
    were brought to the table.

    Unbenounced to me, she was constantly in the principals office
    complaining about me, but I had no idea she was so unhappy.
    Someone from my school came out on tuesday to put me on
    a "behavior remediation program" - which was a huge shock to
    me considering I didnt realize that I was being
    unprofessional... a little difficult when no one tells you
    that there isan issue.

    After all of that, I couldn't stop bawling my eyes out - so
    once I composed myself, I went back to the classroom only to
    find a teacher that I trusted standing outside of the door.
    My eyes were bright red and she asked me what was wrong. I
    said I was fine, but she asked again and I trusted that she
    wouldn't say anything, and let her know how I was feeling.
    She promised me. I come to find that later that night she
    called my CT - and the two of them were in the principals
    office about it yesterday.

    After school my CT talked to me about it - and I sincerely
    apologized about it. But then I got a call on my way home
    saying that the school dropped me.

    I am devistated. And now I need to go back this afternoon to
    get my stuff and take back the projects that I was going to
    grade last night. I live in the community and see the
    families of the kids all the time.

    I am getting a new placement - and know that I shouldnt have
    said a word - but I thought it was in confidence.

    Ok - on my way to the school.
