Remember, placements aren’t paid to provide EMS
Quotes from placement providers:
“Most of the time I like having students with me, but only if they get stuck in and help out. Occasionally we get students who think they are too good to do the same jobs as everyone else and clearly aren’t interested – it’s like they’re here just to tick a box to pass their degree. When that happens I wonder why I bother – I’m not getting paid, so why should I give up my time if people don’t want to learn and aren’t going to give something back?”
“I always have students working for me over the lambing period. Naturally it slows me down initially, while I’m teaching them what to do. I rely on the fact they’ll start being a help once they know what they’re doing… If they didn’t make an effort, then my time spent teaching would be a waste and I’d really struggle when things got busier”
