What did I do wrong?
Had an unfortunate experience recently when I turned up at a school I had been to several times before, only to be sent away because they had told the agency they did not want me for "behaviour reasons".

I really enjoy supply - I'd much rather have the variety and challenge than being in the same school with the same classes every day.

And if one poor lesson or difficult class means you are going to be blacklisted by school...
So I have been wondering whether staying in supply, in the long term, is possible or advisable and whether instead I should be looking for a permanent position somewhere?
