So here are some other news to distract you: as part of my teacher training, I need to do a placement/internship thingy - some days at a primary school (6-15 year olds) and some at a high school (15-19 year olds). I visited my old high school on Monday and I am doing this with my former high school teacher. Which I find pretty cool, I adore coming back there. I still need to figure out details for the primary school though, I found a mentor at a school that is willing to have me, but we have not finalised any plans regarding dates yet. This sounds pretty cool! Hope you’ll enjoy working with the students in your high school! And fingers crossed they’ll be cooperative and motivated. Though I’m sure if you are a good enough teacher you can actively make that happen. I think I’ve said this before but I find teenagers mean and terrifying, I’d much prefer teaching little kids, if I had a gene in my body that made me suitable to be a teacher. good luck with both internships!

Well, I never knew I had anything that makes me suitable to be a teacher, but I have not gotten much complaints till now, so ... maybe this is a talent that really only shows up when times are dire. I am the opposite, terrified mostly of 12-14 year olds. By the time they are 16, they should know why they are there. At least the ones at good schools that are slightly more difficult to get to. I don't know how I feel about the younger ones yet, the professor is encouraging me that they are very easy to work with, but I am skeptical of that. And I don not really want to at not that good high schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds really cool! And also with the help of a former teacher. This Fall I went to my former HS so as to tell them that I was there in case any student needed extra help at home, as I had done once before in the past. However, I ended up being very embarrassed and changed my mind (I had to return another day but I didn't..). I found other girls from another neighboorhood. But, being a real teacher must be very different than being a tutor.....I can't imagine! Something you said surprised me a little. Is High School till 19 instead of 18 in Slovenia? I know about that fact from other European countries, but it seems it's common in more countries than I knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is generally till 18, unless you are born between January and June, in which case you will probably turn 19 before the end of the school year.

Congrats Buck, that sounds like a very fulfilling and fun experience and I hope it goes well for you!. I think I’d make a great teacher- what’s on the agenda for this lesson?, algebra?!, that’s boring and completely not helpful in life!.

I said algebra also appears in the master, provided that you do crazy stuff like I do.... but no, not in life!!!!!! indeed, so indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, everybody knows that if students are not obedient, the best thing you can do is to electrocute them, right? Ah, the Sith teaching methods ...

honeyed chicken Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Good Morning! Nothing like spamming on a frigid day when our furnace struggles to get the temperature up to a reasonable level in the house. I'm surprised to read several of you actually going back to HS. Good lord, when I finished my four years there I was gone and no looking back - good riddance! College was another matter. I didn't have the opportunity to go back because I was on the other side of the country, but I did miss it and think about it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not have much of a rivalry between universities here, as there are not many to choose from, but there is some kind of competition between high schools. And I will always tell you mine is the best, obviously. So still better to do the placement there than anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, today I had a meal between 4 and 6pm with sister. It would appear that I was either extremely lucky with my teachers or my high school was waaaaaay better than hers even though it’s waaaaaay behind hers in the national rankings. Sister’s teachers are not only terrible human beings they are also terrible professionals. Anyway, what I’m trying to say here is that a high school is kinda only as good as its teachers make it, so whatever high school you go back to, make sure to better it by being a great teacher, which I’m sure you are.

I won't be doing much teaching! I will mostly be listening to what other teachers do there. I will only actually teach for about twice the whole time I am doing this.
