by Candice

Oct 28, 2011

I would like to teach in an area other than the one in which I am currently teaching. My state department has added the endorsement and I'm ok to switch for the new school year. My principal will never agree to this, so I'm willing to leave the district; however, I do not not to leave without at first securing a job elsewhere. Can I be hired while ...See More

I like it when the kids cooperate and are excited about learning. I don't like when they complain about being "bored." I don't like hearing students talking about playing video games for hours on end when they get home from school.

In the current climate of blame being placed on "bad teachers" and "failing schools" it's hard to imagine why anyone would want to become a teacher. It's a wonderful job that is being ruined by oppressive control of government officials who have never stepped foot in a classroom. The sad fact is there are in many cases simply "bad students" who create the "bad schools." You can't expect students living in poverty with low ability to achieve the same success experienced by students in upper class suburban neighborhoods where chaos is not the norm. With the impending "Common Core" standards approaching, we're about to experience more failing schools than ever before. Too many schools have students who aren't ready for "higher level" thinking. Making it government mandated will only further frustrate students, teachers and parents.

> 5. Is there any advice you would give to a young person > making career decisions?

Be prepared to be flexible when seeking out a job. You may not find your dream job right away. Things do take time, but if you are dedicated, I think you will be able to find a job that makes you happy. Also, don't let other people with negative attitudes affect your approach to seeking a job.

I agree with you however, we cannot use personal opinion and we had to specify a certain career for our research paper. You have been a great help in helping me. Thank you again. My passion for children and helping others is what has drawn me towards teaching
