Any teachers here?
A close family friend recently became the principal of a local school, so occasionaly on my days off (I work in fitness) I will fill in as a substitute to help him out.
I usually teach 2nd 3rd 4th graders, and I am really enjoying the experience. I find it rewarding, and I dont mind getting home at 330, with a 90 min break in the middle of the day.
How do you guys that have careers in education feel about what you do? Ive substituted maybe 15 times at most, and have enjoyed it, but Im sure year after year its not the same.
I just want some feedback about life as a teacher. I am 23, and its not too late for me to go back, get a masters in education, and enjoy helping some kids learn while working 10 months a year.
Its a damn good feeling when a child doesnt understand something, and you enlighten them. In that one moment you have just made their life a little better.
