I'm a trainee teacher and on my work placement I work with two other student teachers. I love teaching but I hate it when they're in the class. They tell me I have no confidence and need to act better infront of the class. But I am confident- I'm confident in myself. I know who I am and who I want to be, but my self esteem in front of them is awful. They're the ones who bring my self esteem down and make me seem less confident and incompetent as a teacher. They watch me and snigger and whisper. If I have an idea, they say it's no good and they make me feel stupid. I have my main teaching placement these next three weeks and don't know how I can cope seeing them every day only to be made to feel like rubbish.
