Student teaching is NOT the reality when it comes to teaching.

I’ve been reading a lot of posters quitting student teaching due to thinking that’s how teaching will be. While I don’t fault them for doing what’s best for themselves, I think it needs to be understood that student teaching is very different than real teaching. In many ways it is a lot more difficult and overwhelming trying to do that for the first time while completing college work, while holding down a job on the side. It really isn’t reality.
