work experience in a school for the autistic?

We Answered:

Just be friendly and kind. You might find their reactions to you to be a little strange. If they are in a special school then they will be at the more extreme end of the disorder and some may have severe emotional difficulties.

Where could i go in galway to get work experience with disabled/special needs children for school?

We Answered:

Try ringing organisations that represent children with special needs and disabilities. Or get in touch with your local education authority who will be able to give you a list of special schools and organisations that would be willing to let you help.

why school children work?

We Answered:

Well, it depends on which country we're talking about. If it's in the States, and a kid is payed to do gardening or sell lemonade, then why not. It helps them to learn the value of money . It's a whole different thing in third world countries, where kids are forced to work an incredible amount of hours to help maintain their families...but it has been proved that making them stop working isn't going to solve the problem, because at least with the little money they get they can eat, otherwise they'd starve to death.

I want to be a teacher by am not sure what to do for work experience?

We Answered:

If you want to be a teacher, your best bet is to do your work experience in a teaching environment. Not only will it give you some extra experience, but it will also give you another perspective on teaching, and it'll give you a good idea of whether or not you would actually like to go into teaching.

Good luck. :)

Work experience in an infant school?

We Answered:

Get involved in the activities, even the really messy ones with paint brushes and chalk!
Listen to the children & crouch to their level when they talk to you.

Use your initiative, if you see something that needs to be done, go and do it.

Most of all, enjoy yourself!
