Well, student teaching is not really going any better. I can run a section, well, like it's my job. But put me in front of the whole band, and I fall apart. I talk with my teacher, we plan, I think I understand, I get in front of the band, and oops, well I didn't.

I have no problem taking the criticism from my cooperating teacher. However, there is an assistant there, and she seems quite determined to prove to someone that she knows more than me. Of course she does!!! She's been teaching for 5 years, I'd hope that she knows more than me. I'd be afraid if she didn't. That is also a awkward situation. And tomorrow she gets her chance to criticise away, cause she's going to be observing me so that my teacher can work with the percussion. I'm glad he's working with them, but I'm not sure that I like the idea of her observing me!

Oh well, here goes nothing...
