Some teachers don't have the skills to take on a student teacher. I too tried to become a teacher after having been in private industry. The school culture can seem foreign when one is used to working with adults. The expectations are so different. For example, I think it's expected that a boss will tell you directly what she expects and will correct you clearly when you do something wrong. My CT never told me what time she expected me to arrive in the morning and then she complained to my supervisor about my coming in late. She never told me I was coming in too late, not even once. All it would have taken was direct and clear instructions on her part. She also complained that I failded to attend an after hours meeting however, she didn't tell me about the meeting until the day of the meeting and it was the same day as my ST seminar at my university 45 minutes away (and she knew that.) Failure to properly communicate expectations and failure to point out problems to the ST directly seems to be a common problem with ST placements and I think all prospective CTs should be trained in how to manage adults effectively. I also think the CT should be paid well by the universeity and evaluated for her performance as a CT. Both parties should be held accountable for a successful learning experience. Moreover, just as the teacher takes and oath not to betray confindences regarding one of her minor students; the teacher should likewise sign an agreement not to betray confidences regarding her adult students. Regarding the poster who insulted you, ignore those comments. Unfortunately, on an open forum like this there will be people who post insensitive remarks.
