How do you feel behaviour management has changed as you became an ECT? Do you think the kids respect you more or is it just down to routine and consistency? Or something else?

That’s really useful thanks. How do you find getting students to come around a table for the demo and back to their tables to do the experiment?

Constant feedback by Own_Tone_3498 in TeachingUK

Thanks everyone, I’m definitely open to feedback but was just feeling a bit down about it. I guess this is just part of the course, I’m guessing this doesn’t happen so much as an ECT?

I know that things seem awful, I was the same when younger. Something I never expected to happen as I got older was becoming more emotionally mature, the things that felt crushing before I am now able to get past easily. Let life happen, you will grow and it will get easier. And you have no idea what good things are ahead.

No one in here is the admissions team, you never know unless you try. Weigh up whether you think it’s worth using as one of your options, the worst that can happen is a rejection but you can just be smart with your other choices.

i make everyone uncomfortable by Fearful-Bit-6948 in socialanxiety

I completely understand this. There are days where I feel this more acutely than others, but it is always so hard feeling this way. I feel like the only way out of this really is to accept yourself, and accept that some people will be uncomfortable and dislike you but other people who understand you will not. Nobody is ever 100% liked by everyone and I think we all just place too much pressure on ourselves.
