[QUOTE="zoops, post: 151775, member: 790"] Sounds like you're going into teaching English? No idea how they do it but most seem to be okay with it. I've taught science for ten years, as most have said there's pros and cons. No doubt a challenging job with many frustrations and things you can't control but plenty of rewarding things as well. When you're handed kids that have just moved in from foreign countries, kids that have deadbeat (or basically no) parents and have been taught no social skills or respect or don't know where there next meal is coming from, kids that have mental health issues, learning disabilities, etc, etc, etc all in the same classroom there are definitely things that are frustrating and things college won't teach you. There will be kids you can't reach but the ones that you end up developing a relationship with are rewarding. I know I have developed more patience than I ever thought I would. Pay really isn't bad in most of the bigger districts considering the time off and benefits. [/QUOTE]
