the learning curve when you start is a bastard
in lecturing we don't even get to observe or anything - I suspect I made a lot of fuck ups, but somehow clung on to sanity. Just.

I was young, female, and trying to teach a foreign language to kids with behavioural difficulties on a sink estate.
I'm honestly surprised I lasted as long as I did.

The SENCO complained that my classes were causing too much noise

Which helped.
