As some of you may know, I am currently halfway through my teaching degree! On this episode, I invited two of my uni friends to join me in talking about our first ever placement. They were sent to the same school, whereas I was at a different one. We discuss the highs and lows of teaching, some fun stories from the placement, and for some reason, capitol punishment?
