thanks
Thank you to those of you who offered feedback on my answer. As much as it is discouraging to read all the criticism, I did ask for it, and it's better to hear it now than to have them reject my application because they feel/think the same way.
My problem now is that I have no idea what to talk about. I really can't think of any decent concrete examples, except to talk about my high school co-op placement, where I actually was teaching music. But it was a million years ago. They could go "Sure, but what has she done since?"
I also think it's unfair for them to say "prove that you're a good teacher" when I'm supposed to be learning and practicing those skills IN teacher's college. It's sort of like my 1st year solfege teacher who constantly told me my dictation was wrong, but never actually taught us how to do it :P
I basically have 2 days to finish my application and I'm feeling less and less like I can pull it off.
