The public schools are begging for teachers. The New York Post recently had an article on the teacher shortage in the City.
The reason NYC has a teacher shortage is that teachers are in physical danger at many of those public schools. Same thing in the barrio schools in L.A.
Out here in the burbs, ed schools have been luring change of lifers to grad schoool to get their teaching certificate in one year. Promise of a 96% placement rate
As many found out that the placement rate is as ED techs.
Not many teaching jobs in this neck of the woods.
Teaching is much more difficult than people think. Take it from this first-year middle school teacher.
We need that summer off to try to prepare for the next year to make it better.
The kids insult you, make fun of you, and are nasty as all get out......and I am at a “good” school.
Thank heavens I get to start all over in January, and I think it will be much better.
I hope so. I don’t know what I would do next year...go back to school and do something I actually would make money in I guess. I don’t know how my wife and I would survive though.
I really felt called to teach, and the money wasn’t an issue...we get by just fine. But, some days are just pure hell.
