I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school. I am having serious brain fog issues delivering an intervention. I am now in a process called capability and although they say its a supportive process it feels like anything but. I am having hour long observations and the reading system I am supposed to deliver is called Read Write inc (its very prescriptive) has lots of similiar moving parts that I have to follow very precisely. I love my job and have worked there for 12 years but have only recently had issues. Any ideas as to what to do? ---

If you’re not in a union. Join One and ask them to intervene. But honestly working in a school as a TA they will use and abuse you and then drop you as soon as they can. I’d get out now if it was me. I was a teacher and had enough so I got out. Best decision I’ve ever made ---

I’m in unison they are ace but management are s\*\*t. I have worked in school since I was diagnosed the kids kept me sane.
