Hi there!
I decided to publish the link to my blog, or rather diary, online. This means that I might have to create somewhere else a blog for my more private stuff.
As I feared my internship courses went very bad and afterwards I decided to quit my education as a secondary school teacher. (tough I still have to succeed for most of coming exams) Which brings my to the question which courses I will follow coming school year?
I would like to work with children (like 5-12 years old) and/or have a caring function. Primary school teacher was my back-up plan, but I am in doubt if I would succeed those studies. Also the job seems very stressful and I perform bad under long term high pressure. Not to forget my biggest current problem is the "teaching itself", to remind which questions I have to pose.
Another option is nursery-class teacher wich is stressful too but I think I might handle the stress better in those circumstancers. Besides I already gained a bit experience with four to five year olds at the playground. My doubts are if I am "creative enough"? (puppet show, bringing a play, singing and playing a flute are not my cup of tea!)
And I can't imagine how I would find activities to fill a schoolyear for the three year olds. They seem capable of so little and have to go to the bathroom like every two hours... Last thing is if I would find a job with this degree. As far I could inform vacancys vary by regio's but the situation in my regio isn't clear to me.
I consider to study nursery-class teacher because:
it's a job which gives satisfaction,
I can work with/ take care of children,
(most of) the kids appreciate your work,
I like to create tinkerings with the kids,
it's definetily not a boring job, ....
Thirth consideration is orthopedagogy. I checked the studybooks by an accuintance and the difficulty seems achievable. The content of the jobs with this degree varies, so that's not so clear to me, but what I heard sounded okay to fine. Minus points: schools who afford this study are quite far away, my father doesn't support this option, it might be physically heavy and I am not so strong and it might be mentally heavy too.
I am still thinking about what I should do.
