I have been an Elementary Teacher Assistant for over 13 years and now a rising junior in College pursuing my Elementary Ed. degree. I have worked in every capacity of the class, I have "been the teacher" planned esson, assessed students, planned, created centers and all classroom management was left to me because the majority of teachers I was placed with were first year students who were too busy handling social issues and coming to school unprepared.

I feel that the experience we bring to the table far outweighs anything we will ever read in textbook or study in a manual. Unfortunately, my university doesn't see it that way; I am going to have to stay in school two semesters longer to complete the field experience because my experience doesn't count. ( I work full time in the classroom by the way).

I feel like I have been unfairly treated and that the university is doing me a great disservice.
