This article is interesting in pointing out the difficulties most fieldwork educators face in teaching students and the opportunities they feel they get from teaching students. The most difficult is the time and workload constraints which we all probably see now. The biggest opportunity that they feel they have is to learn from the students and update their academic understanding. They also felt that it was important to their professional and personal development. We should keep this in mind so that we are cognizant of what the pressures they have with us being there with them so we do not exacerbate those pressures. We should also know what is helpful for them so as to help further their professional and personal goals by sharing our academic information as well.
