Re: Considering Teaching High School Math/Physics in Delawar
Posted by food for thought on 1/17/09
Sagacious advice. Anyone considering the teaching profession
as a life-long career and a rewarding vocation, should think
long and hard, observe daily life in today's schools,
especially in the urban environment, before spending the time
and money on education and certification.
On a whole, it's just not worth it. Only about 20% of teachers
make it twenty years as educators. The other 80% burn out and
wisely choose more rational careers.
However, if you really feel you could be one of the true
educatiors and not just a simple "book teacher," by all means,
to the attack!!!
