PGCE Drop out - Do I?

PGCE Drop out - do I?

Hey everyone,

I seriously need some advice! I started my secondary PGCE 3 weeks ago and I started school on Monday. Before starting the PGCE I was seriously doubting if teaching is the right career for me, some days I would be ready for it, some days I wish I had never applied. & now after being in school for only a short space of time I have realised that teaching is definitely not for me (I already dread getting up in the morning).

What do I do? Do I quit?
My parents don't know I feel like this, they are so proud of me at the moment!
I have never quit anything before either, I feel like a failure already.

Some advice is seriously welcome!

Thank you!

I dropped out of a PGCE after 2 months,I am amazed that I lasted that long.I never felt so isolated and demoralised from anything in my life as the 'process' of making me into a teacher.I could relate any of it to the REALITY of working lifethat I was used to.Teaching lives in a parallel universe from life in business, industry and the military.If it's stressing you out,just quit and don't be ashamed in any way.
