What is the most important thing you have learned during fieldwork observation? Why?

The most important thing I learned is how much a teacher really does. This is not going to be an easy job, there are papers to grade, a class agenda to keep up with, and 30 different children with different personalities. It is an all the time job. At first it was hard to see where I stood with these kids but by the time my hours were up I had found a place in the classroom, I had the respect of the kids and I knew that I could do this. I understand that each class is different and each new year will bring new challenges and new kids; it’s not always going to be easy. In fact I think it will rarely be easy but just with my short experience in the classroom I know it will be worth it.
