Why so judgemental?
by Denise
Apr 18, 2010
Thank you. Student teaching definitely was a challenge on all fronts, but it was worth it. I do enjoy my time in the classroom each day, and I think I am good with my students. I have noticed that so many people have a terrible experience student teaching, it makes me think that there must be a better way to do it, but I'm not sure what it is. Universities need to look at student teaching candidates as customers, if they have a reasonable problem, they should make every effort to rectify it. The standards for entering my program were very high, understandably so, therefore, I think the benefit of the doubt may be in order. I had a near perfect GPA in both undergrad and grad school, had participated in many child related volunteer groups, and excellent test scores. I hardly think that someone in their 30's or 40's, would take a year of their lives and give up their source of income to NOT take student teaching seriously.

Denise And I'm sorry, I meant to say that I hope things do work out for your sister. Sometimes when it rains, it pours, and it seems like she could use a break! I was extremely lucky to have a supportive husband at home to help with my girls, I don't think I would have made it without him, so I really take my hat off to your sister and her tenacity!
