This was an annoying experience. I already knew most of the stats that these 8 teachers/recent education program grads told us already. They told us that only 40% of the people in our program will make a successful career as a teacher and teach for 5 years or longer. They kind of attacked us with this information and then in the smaller groups they made us justify why we want to be teacher and asked us what is going to be the reason that we will not be one of the successful 40%. I think that most of the teacher candidates, including me, were offended by these teachers and felt that they were using scare tactics and wasting our time.
