I hate my primary teaching placement. How can I get through it?
I'm training to be a primary school teacher and I'm on placement at the moment. The teaching bit is fine, but I'm drowning in planning, resource making, paper work and school-based tasks that uni set me. I set off at 6am and don't return home until 7pm because I have to travel far. Then I'm up until gone midnight planning, even though I spend 7 hours on Saturdays and Sundays planning and doing other paperwork as well. I feel like I have no time to myself. I do enjoy the teaching but I just hate having so much work. I know that teaching isn't the typical 9 to 5 job and that the hours are longer, but surely not like this? Someone reassure me. I'd appreciate any advice. x

What University are you at? I am also a trainee teacher and don't spend that much time on after school hours! Certainly planning needs to be done and making resources but that's extreme.
Being far away doesn't help, is there no way you can stay with a host family closer?
Speak to the school you are at and find out whether or not they think it is normal? Or if they can help in anyway? Delegate tasks - eg resources.
Source(s): I am also a trainee.
