[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A paid internship in another field because nobody paid student teachers. I also had to pay for the year of student teaching. It was so intense with classes four nights per week from 4:30-8pm that I would’ve never been able to work on top of it. I got a regular summer job in the summers in between. [/quote]

My DS is a Math and Secondary Education major.  He's starting his senior year next week.  The fall semester he'll be student teaching full time AND taking 2 Education courses at night.  We still have to pay his tuition and room and board (he's off campus in an apartment, but we're paying for the apartment and groceries.)  and he doesn't get paid for the student teaching.  Last year, he had to do 20 hours in a classroom each semester.  It was "observation" but the teacher he was assigned to in the fall had him helping out in the classroom - working one on one with students when they were doing independent work.  He also led the class twice at the end of the semester.

My DS is really excited to get into the classroom.  I need to stay away from these threads because I get so worried about him.  I want him to love his job - he really enjoyed doing the observation and working with the kids.  I think he'll be a great teacher.  But reading about all the "crap" he may be dealing with is disheartening.  [/quote]
