Anyth...See MoreIt is my dream to become a High School teacher. I am very open minded to teach any subject. I just need to know if it is a right move. Are there many jobs available? Is the stress worth it? I know the benefits of influencing the good of kids is priceless, but I just don't want to waste my time with school if the job is not available.
I tell young kids that teaching is a good stepping stone profession. I do think you are used and abused after a few years and this is why there is such a high drop out rate. Don't go to a top priced school you won't make enough in the state of Hawaii to pay back your loan and go to graduate school.
What the other person mentioned about salaries here is true. There is a tradition handed down from the great plantation days here in Hawaii where industry just thinks you should be happy to survive on less. Their grandparents did and so should you. This is a dying attitude though with a great influx of mainland residents. I am seeing a change in teachers salaries. It does not meet what top states offers but 12 years ago those same top states offered less too. No child left behind is forcing Hawaii to see the quality of their schools. They know they need to do better in attracting quality talent. The sun just does not do that lol. But when the nation looks away from programs such as teach america that applauds uncredentialed teachers who in some cases even unseat credentialed staff, when seasoned professional teachers can obtain employment in any state as easily as a recent grad then perhaps Hawaii will have the environment it needs for a competitive salary.
I am a HS math teacher, but I majored in math, not education. (I took secondary ed courses in college). I would NOT make a good English, or History teacher.
Would you have to take a PRAXIS or other content exam? WOuld you be able to pass any exam that is in a discipline that you are open to?

Hey Everyone, I am looking for one to two teachers from the beautiful state of Hawaii to join in on the upcoming 2008-2009 post card exchange! If you are interested in joining please email me at [email removed]
I found this on a website( I have not tried it yet...just found it). I have been to Hawaii three times and drink myself silly with POG.
Mix 1 cup each of Kern’s guava nectar and Welch’s passion fruit nectar with 2/3 cup of Minute Maid no-pulp orange juice. Chill. Serve.
To tweak Cheryl’s recipe for a more POG-like taste, we suggest a bit less OJ. Real POG is sweet. Sugary sweet. Cheryl’s recipe came off a bit more adult than real POG.

SunTropics recently launched a Passion Orange Guava that's patterned after the Hawaiian POG. AND, it's made with NO ADDED SUGAR! Yummmm!!!
So far it's only available in Costco's. Write to them on their website ([link removed].

We only need one person from each state. The first to email me will be able to participate. :)
