I'm a "substitute teacher," so I don't do much other than hand out worksheets and show movies. I'll be actually teaching in about 2017, as I'm studying to teach high school history. Any teachers on WF?

I'm in masters for History, so I've been able to work with some of my professors on designing intro course outlines that go outside just teaching from the book.
Hopefully by the time I'm graduated I can at least get decent adjunct work. Meh.

I'm 17 right now and I'm gonna start to work out and train to become a wrestler but I'm also going to go to college to get my master's degree in American History. If Davey Richards can get a doctorate and be a full time firefighter and also wrestle full time, I'm damn sure I can get my master's and train to become a wrestler at the same time. I really enjoy history and think the future generations should know about the history of the nation they live in, which are the two main reasons I want to teach American History.

U.S. and British are my main foci, but I can't help but jump into religious history as a side note. Can't we'll have history and politics without a little religion now can we? Heh.

Was.
I hope you're ready for the workload. You work all day then take your work home at night. Never ends.

I think I'd enjoy being a teacher but I know I would never be driven enough to become one.

I wanted to be a history teacher/High School football coach. My favorite teacher in school was both. He was my favorite teacher and favorite coach. I took every class he taught, even if I didnt need it for credit. Sadly, once I got to college I couldnt stay sober enough to get where I need to get (no like alcoholism just too much partying) and then he was fired for being a pedo with members of the girls softball team.
He's still my hero! LOL

I went for English and education to be an English teacher. I got mostly all of my stuff done just no student teaching and never took the certification courses,also didn't see eye to eye with the idiots in charge of the program, right now it's kind of annoying as I could have had summers off. I don't even care about the money that you don't make a lot. Still think I would have made a decent teacher.

psychology at university.... great stuff. I love it because I have a captive audience to speak to about my favorite subject and also to be able to challenge each persons perspective of the world. In a general psych course, you get to discuss damn near everything.... sex, personality, nature vs. nurture, psych disorders, learning/conditioning, sleep/dreams etc. Its really fun if you make it that way. Granted this is higher ed. I can basically structure the class to my liking. I find it a personal standard for an instructor to deliver information and challenge people with it as opposed to preaching as so many higher educators do. There is no stupid state mandated topics or things you can or cannot say. Basically, you are free to challenge as you see fit although it should be the instructors intent to do so with the learners best interest in mind rather than an agenda of his or her own.

I have a few friends who went to be teachers. One dude got lucky and actually found a job, and a good other handful are on their second summer of constant rejection.
Seems like a really sucky market these days... you wait for years substituting for peanuts and finally get the job which itself is notorious for not paying too terribly well.
Getting summers off seems pretty damn legit, tho.

Having summers off is the only thing that makes me say, "It must be nice to be a teacher."

I worked in an elementary after school program for 7 years. Absolutely loved it. Not quite a full "teacher", but I worked in a school and had my own group of kids.
I'm an art-ed major. I'll be student teaching this fall.

LOL back on topic, I would never have the patience to become a teacher, although I would consider myself very understanding if I chose to be one as I ing hate school so id be able to notice the ones like me immediately and unlike most teachers instead of considering them lazy and uncooperative try and spark their attention and encourage them, I don't get any of this in school anymore since I moved except from one teacher and he's my favorite because of it.

I've always disliked teachers.
I can remember in Second grade we were taking a standardized test and I had to poo real bad. I raised my hand and was told to put my hand down and take my test. I knew better, I ran to the restroom and poo'ed. The teacher came after me and demanded I return to class but I was in the middle of taking the Browns to the superbowl. I suppose the teacher would have had me poo my pants instead.
Then in 4th grade we had a substitute teacher who I guess was having a bad day. He yelled at us and kicked one of the desks where a child was sitting. The police came, it was quite the event.
In 8th grade I had a teacher who took us on a field trip to the local super market. We were told the store would be giving us sandwiches. When we got there we were informed the store would make us a Sandwich but we had to pay for it, many kids had no lunch that day.
In High School I had numerous teachers who I felt were just a waste of space. I had one female teacher who would spend all period talking about guys, dating, relationships.... mind you that was an english class.
I had another teacher, Mr. Rule, he's dead now. Mr Rule was all about the women. We would often have classes dedicated to guest speakers who would tell us; how to use a condom, how to tell if you have an std, how to prevent getting stds, how to prep for intercourse, and so on. Mr Rule was also an english teacher and all these guest speakers were always hot. His class was not my designated sex ed class. In my sex Ed class all we did was sit in the room for the period talking to ourselves.
I had a male teacher who would take role call once a month and ask us if we missed any days. I would never go to his class accept when he took attendance, I got perfect attendance in that class.
Another Male teacher I had would never check homework. He would just read out the answers and ask the students what their grade was. I would never touch a book in that class I would just say I got 80 to 100 percent right on my assignments.
I had a female teacher, elderly woman, who would spend most of the class time trying to push her political views on us students. She was a communist.
And my worst teacher was a crusty old lady. She told me straight up one day, "why do you even come to class? you're not going to pass". She told me this early on in the year in the middle of the very first semester.
I remember thinking, these people get a pay check?
Oddly enough or Ironically enough my wife's parents are both teachers. My mother in law taught grade school and my father in law was the principal at that same school.
As I wrote this post I remembered field trips as a kid. I use to LOVE getting separated and lost from the group. The field trips would always last longer because they were looking for me. I use to think it was awesome to explore on my own.
