i really do think that one rubbish placement scarred me in some way, to the point i cried starting my next placement fearing it would be the same again 
after teaching years 3,4 and 6, this placement was year 1 and he had me teaching phonics blind on day 2.
taking one of two groups each day was our plan from week 2. nope. he had plenty of obs and meetings to attend meaning i was teaching 2x phonics and filling time for him

he observed me twice within 4 weeks and had the cheek to say i wasn't in school long enough to write my report (i had week 5 off after a car crash that wrote off 3 cars lol)((he thought i was lying)) he wanted me to make up these 5 days before he could give a report
he would disappear at 3:30 so i had no idea what he wanted me to do.
i'd often be planning tomorrow's lesson that evening as that is how he worked so i couldn't get ahead of that as he hadn't planned anything else

i emailed him sunday once saying i was so unsure of the english plan for monday morning please could he help me or do it and i will teach from his plan (it was introducing a new unit/book) he emailed me the exact brief he gave me verbally on the friday and offered no other help.
one friday he asked my evening plans, i thought this was genuine convo and told him my plans at 8pm - nope, "ah good so you can stay as late as poss to get lots done with me" this made me cry and leave at 3:45 
just why make your student feel shit. this thread is making me SO glad i'm not there anymore. i am qualified and will treat student so so much better than him
