Why wouldn't you want to teach in public schools?
Thanks, you. I hope I can get through it tremendously. lol... I am going to teach US History and US Government... starting off in the high schools, but eventually I'd like to go back for my Masters and teach at a collegiate level.

I don't want to teach in public schools around here in the chicago area - I don't consider it safe. actually any big city would feel that way for me. maybe really young kids would be okay, but I don't think I could handle the attitudes that high school or even jr. high school kids have. I taught freshmen composition at the junior college and those kids were just out of high school - often they were difficult to motivate, and sometimes argued too much and skipped class. I had some great students, too, but overall that age is hard for me. Also since I have a master's and not a certificate, I'd have to go back to school again if I wanted to teach public school. I can't do any more school. I would love to teach college again but it's hard to get a full time job.
you should go for the master's - I was glad I did even though now I don't really use it much.

I can understand your hesitance about public schools. I totally get that. It's unfortunate that you feel that way though. Schools could use good teachers. :-)
I'm definitely going back for my Masters... it's a matter of when, not if. I think I'd like to get my feet under me teaching before I do that. :-)

I'd love to teach if I could - but I just can't go back to school for the teaching credential, now that I've spent a lot of money for this paralegal certificate. I chose to do the paralegal certificate coursework before the economy took a downturn - I thought I could get a really high paying job, but I didn't really think much about it. now I kind of regret it. I hope things turn around and I can maybe get a job as a paralegal, but I guess I could always go back to teaching at the college level. and there's still the possibility I might go to Japan again in the future -and I will teach there.
I didn't choose the easy path, I guess:) anyway, sorry for rambling...

No, you certainly didn't choose the easy path. But you chose your own path and that's more important. :-) And ramble on any time you please!!!
(no subject)
thanks! and you just gave me license to rant and ramble, so beware:)
LOL!
