I’ve had offers to undertake my PGCE on both part time and full time courses. I am currently on maternity leave with my 9 month old, and I also have a 3 year old that goes to nursery 3 days a week. I’m so unsure which route to take - can anyone share their experiences studying with young children, full or part time?
I am fully aware how demanding the course is, and worry that I will put everything into it, and not have anything left mentally or physically to give my own children if I go FT. I hate the thought of missing out on time with them whilst they’re so young as time is something I’ll never get back. Equally, I have been advised by one of the FT courses I applied to that a PT course will not allow me to immerse myself into school life, and I’ll find it difficult building relationships.
HELP - any experiences shared would be great.
