I'm debating whether or not I should take a gap year before starting the teaching course.
This is on the basis that I find a casual job with full time hours. I really wanted to do teaching but everyone around me is saying I shouldn't do it because of behaviour management, taking work home, and that I'm too much of a stresshead. I also have unmanaged ADHD, constantly submitting things late. When I'm a "bad student", I feel like I'll be a bad teacher.
I think I'll try the teaching course and then apply for OT if it doesn't fit.
Could you work as a teacher’s aide for a while to sus out what it’s like to work at a school? (Although you might need a cert to do that - not sure)
This is something I'm looking into!
