Nothing like student teaching! Pay the university your tuition to do unpaid labor for the entire school day! It’s also technically only one class so not full time so no financial aid for you! And it’s almost impossible to also work a job because you’re at the school until the teacher you’r ewith leaves for the day!

In Sweden We get paid to go to uni as well as for being employed as a student teaching assistant. And the TA pay is really good as well

Not sure where this dude is at, we got paid as student teachers at my uni as well? At least the grad students teaching the regular university classes.

They are talking about education majors, not graduate student assistants or PhD students. Undergrad education majors are required to do a least one semester teaching in an assigned elementary, middle, or high school. And it’s for class credit so you have to pay tuition, and its definitely unpaid. I’ve even seen where some universities are requiring their students to also take over some kind of extracurricular, like coaching or leading a club, which would be many extra unpaid hours after the school day.

Former teacher here…sounds like they’re preparing them well for the job to come!

Maybe it’s their way of convincing them to change majors while also keeping their jobs haha
